Why Bet on Chivas?

Chivas make its way to the semifinal after dealing with Toluca on a 0-1 aggregate score.The most remarkable thing for the Rebaño was their defensive capacity against the most dangerous offense in the round-robin (38 goals). Now, they face the strongest defense of the previous phase (12 goals against), so another acid test is incoming, but for the offense.

The Rebaño started the tournament in poor form, but coach Fernando Gago found the formula just in time to enter the postseason on the right foot. They come with five victories in a row for the round-robin, and six in seven, counting the quarterfinals.

As a result, they are the team with the best state of form of all the four clubs left in the competition. 

Why Bet on Club America?

Club América got to the semifinals on the most narrow of scores, landing a 2-2 aggregate against Pachuca.They advanced due to the tie-breaking rule, awarding the series to the better-positioned team in the regular season table in case of a draw.

Even coming as the leaders in the round-robin, the Cremas suffered a lot and were close to yet another upset against the Tuzos. Let’s remember that, not long ago, this same club eliminated them from the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals.

They managed to shake the ghosts of the past and now face a team that, casually, they eliminated in the quarterfinals of the continental tournament. However, since then, Chivas’ form has improved a lot, so they must show their A game.

Final Betting Analysis: Chivas vs. Club America

Since 2024, they played 61 times, with 18 victories for the Rebaño and 25 for América. In the last five games, including all competitions, the Águilas have the upper hand with three wins, while Chivas got only one triumph.

It must be said that their CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals series was tightly contested. The Azulcremas got a comfortable 3-1 win in the first leg, while in the second one, they were defeated by 3-2. It was a remarkable effort for a Guadalajara team that was not going through its best patch of form. That’s the last record for a two-leg clash between the two, while in the Liga MX regular season, they tied 0-0.

It is in times like this when the Águilas category comes afloat, so we’ll go for a 1-2 victory for the visitors.

Go for a victory for the Águilas at 3.3. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $230 for a total payout of $330.
