It's been a long wait, but Liga MX is finally back. Matchday 1 of the Apertura 2021 will bring us an exciting game between Chivas and Atletico San Luis, who will try to kick off their campaigns on the right foot. Here, you will find everything there is to know about this match, such as the preview, information, storylines, predictions, odds, and even how to watch it in the US.
Guadalajara return to action following a sour end to the previous Guard1anes Tournament, in which they struggled to round up a convincing performance in the regular season. Victor Manuel Vucetich, however, will continue at the helm of Chivas aiming to deliver a better result this time.
On the other hand, Atletico San Luis have to start almost from scratch after a completely disappointing finish to the last Liga MX competition. Unlike their upcoming rivals, they did make a change of managers, with Marcelo Mendez Russo set to make his debut in charge of the team in this game.

Chivas vs Atletico San Luis: Storylines and Head-to-Head
Chivas are full of hope ahead of the new season. A few months ago, their championship hopes ended in a painful 2-4 defeat at the hands of Pachuca in the play-in for the Guard1anes Playoffs. Now, Vucetich's boys will try to start strongly to have a better ending to their upcoming campaign.
Atletico San Luis, meanwhile, have had even more work to do during the preseason as they finished 17th in the regular season standings carrying a seven-game losing streak. Their away form has been really poor lately, as they won just one of their last 15 games on the road (W1 L14).
This will be the fifth meeting between these two sides at the Mexican top-flight. Chivas Guadalajara have the edge with two wins, while Atletico San Luis have claimed only one victory, and they've also tied once.
