Chivas Aims for Redemption Against Bravos in Crucial Clausura Match

CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico — Chivas Guadalajara will seek to bounce back from midweek setbacks as they head to the northern border to face FC Juárez in the 12th round of the Clausura 2025 on Saturday, March 15 at 7:10 PM. Following a disappointing performance in the Clásico de México, Chivas aims to reclaim their form at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez.

The Rebaño Sagrado, currently tenth in the league, has experienced a mix of triumphs and challenges this season, amassing 15 points from 11 matches. A win against Juárez could be vital as they try to secure their spot in the playoff known as Liguilla.

“It’s crucial for us to approach this game with confidence. We know how important it is to our fans and the club,” said Chivas head coach Gerardo Espinoza. “We have to rectify our recent performance and make a statement on the field.”

On the other side, the Bravos sit eighth in the standings with 17 points after experiencing a narrow 1-0 defeat to Atlético San Luis in their last outing. The team hopes to regain their early season momentum and capitalize on playing at home, especially after a promising start with three consecutive wins. However, they have faltered lately, failing to win in their last two home games.

FC Juárez coach Martín Varini expressed hope that his team can bounce back and bring their best to the match against the league giants. “We respect Chivas and their history, but we also know we can compete against anyone when we play to our potential,” Varini stated.

Historically, Chivas has enjoyed success at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez, boasting a record of four wins and one draw in their visits. They will be looking to maintain this trend against a team that must secure a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.

The match promises to be significant not only for standings but for the confidence of both teams. Juárez must find consistency, as they aim for a playoff position, while Chivas must assert their dominance to avoid falling further down the table. With only a few matches left in the regular season, every game counts.

Fans can tune in to the match live in Mexico on Azteca 7 and streaming on Tubi. For US audiences, Fox Deportes will broadcast the game, ensuring viewers won’t miss this exciting clash.

As the teams prepare for a Saturday filled with high tensions and expectations, the outcome will undoubtedly have implications as they push towards the playoffs. Meanwhile, for Chivas, it provides an opportunity to re-establish their presence after a shaky start to the year.
