Great chance for Chivas but the players fail to create an understanding and the move breaks down.

The general feeling is that we'll see a different Chivas from the side we saw in Nuevo Leon on Thursday night with a more offensive focus from Veljko Paunovic with the Serbian coach now being hailed after his decision making last Sunday in the semi-final against America at the Azteca.

Tigres experienced being cited as the strength for the side from Monterrey.

Extra time and penalties a possibility

Unlike the liguilla quarter and semifinal games, should tonight's game end in a draw, then the final league positions will have no bearing in deciding the winner and a further 30 minutes will be played with a penalty shoot out set to be used should the sides still be level.

Objects launched at Tigres bus

With little or no security to protect the Tigres team bus, a number of items impacted on the vehicle as it made its way towards the Estadio Akron.

as.com

Tigres

Robert Siboldi guided Tigres to a seventh-placed finish in the regular phase. The team followed that up by beating Puebla by the minimum in the repechaje and edged both of their next ties against Toluca and Rayados. Brazilian centre-back Samir Caetano was a regular starter during the league tournament but has hardly featured since the quarter finals. He is now over the hamstring injury that kept him out of the return leg against Monterrey and both legs of the semis; he watched last week’s first leg against Chivas from the bench and it remains to be seen if Siboldi will field him from the start on Sunday. Igor Lichnovsky is an option to partner Diego Reyes in the back four or captain Guido Pizarro, who dropped back in the first leg.

as.com

Chivas

Out of the two finalists, Chivas enjoyed the better regular season. Paunovic’s team finished third as the top scorers in the league (36 goals for) and qualified directly to the quarter finals.

They beat Atlas and América on their way to the final. They also won their meeting with Tigres during the regular season - Gilberto Sepúlveda and Ronaldo Cisneros found the net in the 1-2 win on matchday 9 back in February. There is only one player on the casualty list - left winger Carlos Cisneros suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee during the semi-final against América. Alexis Vegas is expected to line up in his place. Otherwise, Guadalajara will be at full strength

Last Liga MX title wins

Chivas Guadalajara and Tigres head into tonight’s contest at the Estadio Akron to decide the winner of the Clausura 2023 final. The contest remains wide open after Thursday’s first leg at Estadio Universitario which ended goalless.
