After a breakout year last season, it’s been a grind for Roberto Alvarado to get on the scoresheet. Opening the scoring in last weekend's affair, he finally broke through for his first Liga MX goal in the Apertura. The 25-year-old winger now has 21 goals in 105 appearances repping the Chivas kit.
For only the third time in his last seven displays, Cade Cowell failed to pick up a goal contribution. The 20-year-old is currently sitting with three goals and an assist in the 2024 Apertura. Cowell is one of the leading squad members averaging 3.2 shots per game with 1.6 shot hitting the target.
Angel Zaldivar will be leaned upon to get Juarez onto the scoreboard as he leads his side with two goals in Liga MX. The 30-year-old boasts a wealth of experience playing in Mexico, as he has 51 career goals in 285 appearances in all competitive matches with four different outfits.
Juarez could have a potential gem at left-back as Ralph Qrquin is continually progressing upwards after only 17 professional appearances. The 21-year-old Mexican has two assists to his 2024 Apertura account. He is one of the league leaders in interceptions as the young defender has seven in 446 minutes played.
With the price indicated by the books, think we are getting more than fair value backing Chivas in this situation. The Sacred Herd are in good form hitting the back of the net as they have managed to amass eight goals in their last five matches. In their last six bouts against Juarez, Chivas have been able to avoid a defeat. Juarez's defence has been exposed so far this year only obtaining one clean sheet in the eight competitive matches they have participated in. Look for Chivas to outclass Juarez using their home fortress as an extra advantage to seize on attaining a maximum result.
