Paunovic’s Eleven: the coach is steering the United States–bound squad toward America with a bold plan, while Alexis Vega makes a notable couch cameo in the drama of the Mexican classic.
Across several recent tournaments, Chivas has hovered just inside the top eight as the Clausura 2023 cycle unfolds, giving the team a sharper sense of their rival’s tendencies under Veljko Paunovic. The Serb’s approach has sharpened the Rojiblancos’ tactics, pushing players to outperform expectations in high-stakes matchups.
In addition to the familiar faces Paunovic has trusted in recent weeks, fans will witness the potential spark of a formidable attacking partnership: Pocho Guzmán alongside Alexis Vega, who returns to action after a two-month injury layoff. The pair could become a dynamic force up front, complementing the team’s existing attacking options.
Goal delivers the latest, most comprehensive snapshot of the Rojiblancos ahead of the Mexico classic, with a focus on lineup options, depth, and the tactical chess match that unfolds on game day.
