Season Form & Standings
Liga MX’s Apertura is decided by the Liguilla, and this is a case of two points-tallies telling different stories. Tigres UANL have 13 points from 11 games (3 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses) and a -2 goal difference, a mid-table return that leaves them needing to string results together for a reclasificacion spot. Chivas’s own table numbers aren’t part of this breakdown, but their recent form points to a side building momentum at the right time.
