A disappointing first week of the season behind them, Cruz Azul and Chivas Guadalajara return to the pitch on Saturday.
The visitors -- despite holding a man advantage for 60 minutes -- could only muster a 2-2 draw with Veracruz last Sunday. WIthout a victory, relegation remains very much a threat for Chivas Guadalajara.

What They're Saying
Cruz Azul winger Joao Rojas (via Esto): "Guadalajara is a good team. The club brings a lot of traveling fans. The most important thing is that the stadium is full, but when it comes to the quality of teams, Cruz Azul is ahead of Guadalajara. We have a better team. We are favorites. We are better line for line, but this is football and you have to prove it on the pitch."
Chivas Guadalajara winger Isaac Brizuela (via Esto): "Cruz Azul normally proves they are a tough team to beat at home, but we can show the same dynamism we did last Sunday [against Veracruz]. We have to move the ball well. We have to be intelligent in front of goal."
