The sequence that has left the Estadio Akron quieter than expected began after the Jornada 6 win over América: Guadalajara went roughly a month without hosting a Liga MX match, and the upcoming guadalajara – santos fixture arrives inside that unusual run of away and rescheduled dates.
What happened since Chivas last hosted a Liga MX game?
Chivas’ last home appearance was the Jornada 6 victory over América, a 1-0 result on February 14 at the Estadio Akron. From there the calendar sent the team on the road: in Jornada 7 Chivas traveled to Puebla to face Cruz Azul at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc, and in Jornada 8 the team played Toluca at the Estadio Nemesio Diez. A match originally scheduled at the Estadio Akron for Jornada 9 was set for Tuesday 3 or Wednesday 4 March but was postponed because the venue was already programmed for a legends match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid on Tuesday 3. That postponed duel was rescheduled for the night of the following Wednesday 18. In the interim Chivas appeared at the Estadio Jalisco for the Clásico Tapatío against Atlas on Monday 7 March, a fixture played in the same city and avoiding a long trip.
Standing points and momentum shifted during the stretch. At the close of Jornada 6 Chivas led the table with a perfect record: 18 points from 18 available. Consecutive matches away then brought defeats against La Máquina and the Diablos Rojos, ending the invincible run and the top spot. The team recovered at Atlas to win and lift its tally to 21 points, positioning Chivas third in the standings with one game in hand.
How will Guadalajara – Santos fit into Chivas’ schedule?
The matchup titled Guadalajara – Santos arrives against that backdrop of postponed dates and a compressed sequence of away games. A highlights resumen of the fixture has circulated, sharing the best plays and the goal that decided the contest. The Santos meeting thus becomes part of a compact phase of the season in which a single rescheduled game can alter standings and momentum.
Could the postponed match change Chivas’ place in the table?
Mathematically and practically, the postponed game is pivotal. With Chivas holding 21 points and a match yet to be played, a pair of wins across a weekend and the midweek rescheduled fixture would equal Toluca’s point total and place Chivas one point behind Cruz Azul — this scenario assumes Toluca and Cruz Azul also win their respective matches in the same period. The rescheduled duel therefore offers a clear pathway to reclaiming ground, but it must be navigated amid travel, fixture congestion, and the psychological impact of consecutive away tests.
For fans and club staff alike, the condensed calendar has turned each remaining match into a decision point. The guadalajara – santos fixture is not isolated: it is embedded in a sequence that will determine whether Chivas can recover the early-season momentum they held after Jornada 6 or whether the disrupted home rhythm will continue to shape their campaign.
