Liga MX resumed operations this weekend after the break for the FIFA World Cup, and one of the most anticipated matches this Saturday will be the one between Chivas and Mazatlán at the Akron Stadium, corresponding to Matchday 13 of the 2025 Apertura.

The Sacred Flock will be looking to maintain their strong form and earn their fourth consecutive victory , aiming to continue climbing the standings on the path to the direct playoffs or secure their spot in the Play-In as soon as possible. In their most recent league match, Gabriel Milito's team delivered a devastating 2-1 defeat to Pumas at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario, a result that placed them with 17 points in ninth place in the table.
