Chivas and America Prepare for the Semifinal Showdown in the Clausura 2024
The highly anticipated semifinal showdown between Chivas and America in the Clausura 2024 is set to take place at the Estadio Akron. Both teams are gearing up for an intense battle as they look to secure a spot in the final.
Chivas, led by coach Fernando Gago, has been on a remarkable run, going unbeaten in their last eight matches. On the other hand, America, under the guidance of André Jardine, finished as the overall top team in the league and only needs a draw to advance to the final.
In their previous encounters, Chivas and America have faced off in a regular-season match and two Copa de Campeones de Concacaf games, with each team claiming a victory. The stakes are higher now as they meet in the semifinals.
The first leg ended in a goalless draw, setting the stage for an exciting second leg at the Estadio Azteca. Chivas will be looking to capitalize on their recent good form, while America aims to utilize their overall strong performance throughout the season.
Key players to watch in this matchup include Víctor Guzmán, who will wear the captain’s armband for Chivas, and Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández, a potent offensive threat. On the America side, the likes of Luis Malagón, Diego Valdés, and Henry Martín will be pivotal in their quest for a final berth.
