Monterrey takes on Club Guadalajara in one of the most intriguing matches of Liga MX matchweek 10. Both teams dropped points last weekend and will try to bounce back to solidify a place in the direct playoff spots.
Chivas has lost two out of its last three games with defeats against two of its rivals in Club América and Cruz Azul, still hanging on to sixth in the standings and the last direct playoff spot available. Fernando Gago's team had chances to avoid defeat in both matches, but his team wasn't sharp in front of goal in either game.
Los Rojiblancos now host Monterrey looking to continue its dominance in the Estadio Akron. Chivas is looking to break its record of most consecutive games with a clean sheet at home with what would be its eighth straight game. It will also look to reach reach 10 straight games unbeaten at home, a record set back in the Clausura 2017 season.
Monterrey could only manage a draw over the weekend at home vs. Mazatlan. Although it has one of the most powerful sides in the league, there's still a lot of questions about the team's style – or lack thereof – and if it will eventually reach the potential of the individual quality in the squad.
Nevertheless, Monterrey sit third on the table and depending on this weekend's results, they could go into matchweek 11 in first place.
