Chivas Aims for Victory Against Querétaro in Crucial Clausura 2025 Match

GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Guadalajara, commonly known as Chivas, will face Querétaro this Saturday at Estadio Akron in a pivotal match of the Clausura 2025 tournament. After a challenging start to the season, Chivas is eager to reclaim its winning form, while Querétaro, struggling in the league, aims to turn its fortunes around.

Chivas coach Óscar García has called up 21 players for the match, including the much-anticipated return of defender Alan Mozo, who has been sidelined due to hernia surgery. Mozo completed his rehabilitation and is ready to play, pending the coach’s final decision. However, key players like Óscar Whalley, Víctor Guzmán, and Miguel Gómez remain out due to injuries.

The match holds significant stakes for both teams. Chivas currently sits in the lower half of the league table, while Querétaro has yet to find its rhythm this season. García emphasized the importance of the game, stating, “We need to focus on our strengths and capitalize on every opportunity. Querétaro is a dangerous opponent, especially when they’re desperate for points.”

Chivas’ lineup includes goalkeeper Raúl Rangel, defenders Gilberto Sepúlveda and Miguel Tapias, midfielders Erick Gutiérrez and Fernando Beltrán, and forwards Javier Hernández and Cade Cowell. Querétaro, on the other hand, will rely on its defensive resilience to counter Chivas’ attacking prowess.

Fans are particularly excited about Mozo’s potential return to the field. The defender, a fan favorite, has been instrumental in Chivas’ past successes. His presence could provide the team with the defensive stability it has lacked in recent matches.

The game is scheduled for 5:00 PM local time and will be broadcast live. With both teams fighting for crucial points, the match promises to be a thrilling encounter.
