Mazatlan vs Chivas: Preview, predictions, odds, and how to watch 2021 Liga MX Torneo Apertura in the US today

The 2021 Torneo Apertura regular season concludes this weekend in a thrilling final matchday with plenty at stake. Mazatlan and Chivas clash today, November 5, at the Estadio de Futbol El Kraken aiming to secure a place in the playoffs, but maybe only one of them achieves that goal. Guadalajara are in 12th place in the Mexican league standings with 19 points, while Mazatlan are one position ahead with 20. Here, you will find everything there is to know, such as the preview, information, storylines, predictions, odds, and how to watch this Liga MX game in the US.

After a great start to the competition, Beñat San Jose's men suddenly fell apart in the Mexican league and wasted what could have been a perfect opportunity to enter the postseason comfortably.

On the other hand, Guadalajara have struggled throughout the whole campaign and their latest results have been even poorer. Marcelo Michael Leaño's side, therefore, arrives at this clash under extreme pressure.

Mazatlan vs Chivas: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Mazatlan may have upset the reigning champions Cruz Azul in the opening round of the Apertura, but they couldn't build on that victory. They come from a painful defeat to Necaxa, who won 2-1 at the death.

But Chivas aren't in a better spot whatsoever. Things haven't gone well for them from the very beginning as Victor Vucetich didn't seize his opportunity to turn the team's fortunes around. But with Leaño, Guadalajara have also struggled, and last weekend's defeat to Tigres extended their winless run to three matches.

This will be just the third meeting between these two sides. Mazatlan have yet to defeat Chivas, who claim the victory once, while the other encounter between them finished level.
