Chivas with better recent head-to-head

Chivas’ biggest win over Rayados is 4-2 and it has occurred on two occasions, in the 1999 Summer Tournament and on matchday 9 of the 2018 Apertura.

Monterrey manager Víctor Manuel Vucetich has coached both teams, and he knows the demands of both clubs very well and above all the responsibility that comes with each result.

In the last six games between the two sides, Chivas have won three, drawn two and lost one and will be hoping to pick up their first three points of the season.
