Chivas Cruz Azul Match 2025

Guadalajara, MexicoChivas Guadalajara prepares to meet Cruz Azul on Saturday, August 30, 2025, at Estadio Akron for Game 7 of the Apertura 2025. The two teams head into the match with vastly different fortunes.

Chivas currently sits near the bottom of the standings with only one win in the tournament, which came against Atlético San Luis in Match 3. In contrast, Cruz Azul remains undefeated, holding four wins and two draws, placing them in a strong third position.

The lineups for the game include Chivas players Oscar Whalley, Alan Mozo, and Alan Pulido, while Cruz Azul features Kevin Mier, Mateusz Bogusz, and Gabriel Fernández.

As the match approaches, Chivas Coach Gabriel Milito emphasizes the need for a united team effort to secure the three points and restore confidence following a series of disappointing results. “We must show our best football,” Milito said.
