Guadalajara, Mexico — The Club Deportivo Guadalajara, known as Chivas, will play their long-awaited match against Tigres UANL on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, at 7:05 PM Central Time.

Chivas will aim for their second straight victory as they look to build on their recent performance and secure vital points in the tournament. Coach Gabriel Milito has emphasized the importance of unity and fan support during this crucial phase of the season.

The team’s recent win broke a four-match winless streak, bringing them to 12th place with 7 points. Meanwhile, Tigres currently hold 5th place with 14 points, making this showdown a crucial one for both teams.

Chivas’ lineup for the match is expected to include Raúl Rangel in goal, supported by defenders Miguel Gómez, Diego Campillo, Miguel Tapias, and Bryan González. The midfield will feature Luis Romo, Fernando González, Efraín Álvarez, and Erick Gutiérrez, while Roberto Alvarado and Cade Cowell are likely to lead the attacking front.
