Guadalajara Chivas turns its focus to its next Liga MX Apertura 2026 match against Atlético de San Luis following a draw. Gabriel Milito's squad aims to return to winning ways this Saturday, September 5 at 5:00 PM at Alfonso Lastras Stadium.
The red-and-white team enters this Matchday 7 in fifth place in the overall standings, with 11 points from three wins, two draws, and just one loss. Their last outing was a 1-1 draw against Pachuca on August 29, a result that extended their unbeaten run to five matches. With nine goals scored and six conceded, the team maintains a positive goal difference of three.
The week of work began this Monday, August 31, at the Verde Valle facilities. Training sessions were held at 9:30 AM from Monday through Thursday. This Friday, September 4, the session is scheduled for 11:00 AM, after which the squad will travel directly to the city of San Luis Potosí.
The technical staff's objective is clear: fine-tune the details to get back on the winning track and continue climbing positions in the table. Milito and his team are analyzing the opponent, currently in thirteenth place, to design a strategy to secure all three points. The full Chivas squad is available for review on our squad page.
Guadalajara Chivas shows solid performance at the start of the tournament. Their recent form of three wins and two draws in the last five matches consolidates their place in the playoff zone. However, the team knows it must improve its offensive efficiency to close the five-point gap separating it from the leader, Club América.
Defense has been a strong point, with only six goals conceded in six matchdays. The team needs to maintain this solidity at the back while seeking greater punch in the opponent's area.
Saturday's clash represents a key opportunity for Guadalajara Chivas. An away win would allow them to pressure the teams above and solidify their place among the top five. Atlético de San Luis, for its part, arrives needing points to move out of the lower part of the table.
The match falls within a tricky part of the calendar where every point counts. The full Apertura 2026 schedule, including the team's upcoming fixtures, can be consulted in the fixtures section. The red-and-white squad will travel after Friday's training with the mindset of achieving a positive result.
Guadalajara Chivas faces Atlético de San Luis on Saturday, September 5, 2026 at 5:00 PM at Alfonso Lastras Stadium, corresponding to the seventh matchday of the Apertura.
