Apertura - CD Guadalajara v CD Toluca
Chivas Guadalajara
This is the last tournament the team will began in Jalisco stadium, as in few months will use for the very first time Tempo Mayor stadium.
Chivas Guadalajara continues to be a disaster, and last tournament the team had 3 coaches, in last was Jose Luis Real, which was ratified on the post, but instead of making an effort to reinforce the team, owner Jorge Vergada did the opposite, and DF/MF Gonzalo Pineda, MF Amaury Ponce and FW Antonio Salazar depart from the team, together with the sideline of symbol MF Ramon Morales, which could return in 6 months to activity and for sure will not be with Chivas Guadalajara.
Their only arrival was FW Adolfo Bautista, which will not dispute this match as he is out of form. So his reunion with Chivas Guadalajara fans will have to wait for a better occasion.
The team has many defensive players and for this match will be with a 5 man defense line, and almost 4 offensive players, but the middlefield players that where key to the team flow are gone and is to be seen which players of the ones in the squad will take their position, or a lot of long balls to skip middlefield will be seen.

MF Edgar Solis
Toluca
A synonime for regularity in Mexico tournament is Toluca, with several years in the top positions and with a good transition whenever on coach position or field players the team remains as one of the top contendants for the title.
In this his fourth tournament with the team, coach De la torre has make some changes to the team as MF Israel Lopez, DF Olvera and MF Diego de la Torre depart from the team, Israel Lopez and de la Torre are sensible losses but the team have worked very good in the transfer window and bring MF Manuel Perez and DF Osvaldo Gonzalez, as their work with youth players and current players on the squad, Diego Novaretti, Vladimir MarĂn for sure will take a startin position.
His insignia GK Hernan Cristante will be sideline the whole tournament and that was the reason he isn't register but the team, but for sure next season he will be back. His reserve GK Alfredro Talavera make a good peformance last season when the team reached the semifinals of the playoffs.
With important offensive players from their youth system, Raul Nava and Carlos Esquivel, together with one of the best scorers of MExican league, FM Hector Mancilla the team posses a great offensive.
Last tournament the team was the best away team, althought getting 4 defeats, but achieve to obtain 12 points in that position.
Match
Chivas has yet to find their playing style, the constant change of coach isn't a good for this, meanwhile Toluca carries some tournaments with the same coach and knows how they player. A tight and fierce match will be witness, with scoring chances for both teams.
Prediction
Toluca will enjoy the best scoring chances of the match, but still will be a tough match, and it would be the defenses the one making the difference, and Toluca defense is better in that way and has showed more consistance than Chivas Guadalajara one. In that instace the 0 AH line comes as the best option for this match.
