Leaño spoke prior to the match against América: "It is evident that we would like to have more points than we have, however, if we analyze the passing of the matches, the team is playing better every day".

2I am concerned about Guadalajara, I am going to talk about Chivas, they should talk about América.  They are a team that was in the top places last season, they have good players, when they connect they can do important things, but in this match the focus is on us, being concentrated, not making mistakes and killing the match when we have those clear opportunities".

"I made the players see that we were going to work with a team and not individuals. I believe that competition is the most important thing for a team that wants to perform at the highest level, we believed that there was a possibility of improving competition in goal and we decided to let Miguel (Jiménez) play and the match he was asked to play he did very well, he helped the team and he has to know that if he wants to stay in goal, he has to continue competing at the highest level".

Guillermo Ochoa spoke to the media prior to this match: "I have had to experience this type of case, precisely at the Querétaro stadium leaving a match with my family, with my parents, and of course it was not pleasant (there were people) hitting the car, the windows, breaking the side mirror, so this had been happening for a long time, there was not much talk about these cases, they turned a blind eye".

"What Guadalajara decided is what all the teams should do, if they agree to have the bars, they should do it with greater control, with greater order, identifying all the people, putting cameras on them. It can be done, but it has to be done well and not as they have done until today. Unfortunately, some who behave well are going to pay the price for it.  

"Soccer is a spectacle where families can go to enjoy their team, we as players have to set an example from the field and we must live in peace.

José Juan Macías spoke prior to this match: "We face the clásico in the same way. We remember the photo that came out of Oribe (Peralta) exchanging shirts after Chivas lost. We have teammates with whom we have played in other teams. Obviously we want to win, on the part of both teams, but at the end of the day this is a spectacle and victory or defeat depends on many factors."

"There are (barras) there, obviously with more order, but it is part of soccer. So they are part of the essence, but we also want them to be in the most organized way."

"These are decisions of the board of directors. The barras provide a little more atmosphere inside the stadium, but we want the atmosphere to be more familiar and for this to be a show in which people are not afraid to go and enjoy it."

América arrives at this match after losing two goals to one against Monterrey and is in the last position of the general table. The eagles are not used to showing this kind of face, so this match will be a chance to turn everything around and take three vital points.

Chivas arrives to this match after beating Santos by the minimum, however, throughout the tournament they have accumulated four defeats, three wins and two draws, numbers that they will be looking to improve.

Following the events in Querétaro, the Chivas board of directors got down to work and issued a communiqué in which they want tonight's match to be played without colors and in peace, and also announced that the area set aside for their supporters' club will be made up of children from their association and that there will be no more cheering groups at the stadium.

The Chivas vs América match will be played at Akron Stadium, located in Guadalajara, Jalisco. The stadium has a capacity for 46,355 people.
