It has been difficult for him to adapt to Chivas and more is expected from Roberto Alvarado, however, he has proven to be an unbalanced player who will need to appear more in the attacking front with the absence of Alexis Vega and the lack of rhythm of José Macías.

Since Caixinha's departure, Santos Laguna had not won, but last Sunday they beat Cruz Azul away and in midweek they defeated Pumas UNAM 3-2, so they left the basement of the championship and are aiming to recover their position to get into the top eight.
Chivas' technical director, Michel Leaño, stated that they must prioritize order in the defensive sector because they have been hurt with very little by both Puebla and San Luis:
"Very punctual inattentions, with very little they score goals against us. We score a lot of goals and they score a lot of goals, we have 14 goals against and 14 goals for. As long as we do not correct the fact of conceding goals. Our focus is to avoid goals from the rival, we cannot have to score three or four goals per game to win", he commented at the press conference after the game.
Chivas del Guadalajara accumulate four games without knowing victory and Michel Leaño's position is in danger in case they do not get a positive result this Saturday at home; as well as the team has lost two-goal leads, on Wednesday they had the reaction to tie 2-2 against San Luis, so it is expected that this club will find regularity.
