Recent history clearly favors Guadalajara Chivas. In the most recent meeting between the two, Chivas won 2-3 with goals from Richard Ledezma, Daniel Aguirre, and Armando González. In total, over 14 encounters, the red-and-white team has scored 24 goals against the Potosinos. A striking fact is that 10 of those 24 goals have come in the last three matches, suggesting growing offensive effectiveness against this rival.
Atletico de San Luis, managed by Diego Mejía, arrives after beating Rayados 1-3. That victory left them with 6 points and in thirteenth position. Their most recent lineup included Andrés Sánchez in goal, with players like Román Torres, Robson Bambú, and Anderson Duarte on the field.
Gabriel Milito will likely trust a lineup similar to the one he recently fielded. Raúl Rangel would be in goal. The defense could be formed by Miguel Gómez, Diego Campillo, and Luis Romo. In midfield, Santiago Sandoval, Omar Govea, Rubén González, and Hugo Camberos would provide balance. The attack would rely on the creativity of Efraín Álvarez and Roberto Alvarado, with Ricardo Marín as the offensive reference.
For his part, Diego Mejía has experienced and young elements in his squad. In addition to those mentioned, he usually counts on Sebastien Salles-Lamonge, Johan Caicedo, and forward Rafael Llorente. The battle in the center of the park will be key to the match's development.
After the match against San Luis, Guadalajara Chivas's schedule doesn't stop. Next Friday, September 14, the team will host UNAM Pumas at home, currently twelfth in the standings. This match will be another opportunity to add points and maintain pressure at the top of the table, which can be checked on standings.
The team has shown great consistency in recent weeks. Their record of 4 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss in seven games speaks of a solid and confident collective.
