The Holy Herd has moved from a modest start to a stronger form this Clausura 2023 under the guidance of Veljko Paunovic from Serbia.
Chivas has endured a semester marked by ups and downs. Paunovic has worked to stabilize the squad despite a series of injuries and inconsistent results, keeping the team focused on contending for the Clausura 2023 title as the semester unfolds.
The Sacred Herd still holds a path to the quarterfinals directly, even if the team slips from within the top four in the standings, but the next four rounds will bring defining tests. Every match now feels like a final for the rojiblanco squad.
Here is everything Chivas needs to advance to the next stage of the MX season, as outlined by Goal.
WHAT IS CHIVAS’ POSITION IN THE TABLE?
Chivas has accumulated 22 points and sits in sixth place in Clausura 2023. The team has a realistic chance to secure a direct ticket to the Fiesta Grande, with the possibility that on date 14 they can solidify their spot in the rematch.
The Sacred Flock needs four victories to guarantee a place in the run toward the semifinals, where América can add at most seven points and Pachuca no more than ten.
Looking ahead, here is the remaining calendar:
04/08: Chivas vs. Necaxa (Day 14)
15/04: Leon vs Chivas (Day 15)
22/04: Chivas vs. Cruz Azul (Day 16)
29/04: Chivas vs Mazatlán (Day 17)
