How did Chivas reach America? Preview of the National Classic today
The Eagles come to get their pass for this instance after suffering against San Luis in a game where they will face their biggest rival in history. On the 12th matchday of the regular season, the Taino Ortiz-led team defeated Chivas 4–2, a result that remains in the past, as it is difficult to mark a team as a favorite in a Clásico; However, the Azulcrema team has a slight advantage by ending the tournament as the usual vice-leader and having the possibility of closing out the series at home.

Meanwhile, Chivas has overcome the first Clásico against Atlas to settle for the semi-finals of the Clausura 2023. Coach Velko Paunovic is sure they are better today than the date in the regular season where the Kopa team beat them. Furthermore, they said that this game has a very special flavor and they will go out with the aim of taking a good advantage in order to better manage the return game at the Azteca Stadium.
Beyond the fact that it is a Liguilla match and likely to advance to the final, it is Mexico’s Clásico and that adds a special flavour. That day, turnovers punished us a lot, they’ve got good players and we’ve prepared specifically to be better in midfield.
