Chivas can get the better of Queretaro
Chivas have made an excellent start to the Liga MX 2026/2027 campaign and sit 2nd in the standings on 18 points from their opening 9 matches, so they look well placed to push for a championship run this time around. Gallos Blancos Queretaro are no slouches either, sitting 9th on 13 points from 7 matches and still within touching distance of a play-off spot.
Gabriel Milito has his Chivas set up in a 3-at-the-back system which allows them to be a real problem on the counter and with their two wing-backs providing width in possession. The home side will certainly look to get Queretaro wide here and exploit the space.
Santiago Homenchenko can threaten Chivas
Form
Queretaro have also made a positive start to the season but are a little bit streaky. They have won 2 in a row and are 2-1-2 across their last 5 matches, so there is an upward trajectory in their results.
Tactics
Esteban Gonzalez has his side playing in a compact 4-2-3-1 system with a more organised press and they rely on quick transitions so this could be a cagey game that is dictated by who wins the midfield battles and second balls.
- Chivas come into the match having gone 5 matches unbeaten, with 3 wins and 2 draws, as they have taken control of the tempo and simply finished off their opponents with precision.
- Ricardo Marin leads the way for the Rebaño Sagrado with 4 goals in Liga MX 2026/2027, but they should have more than enough of a threat in attack to trouble the visitors here.
- Santiago Homenchenko has been their danger man with 4 goals in Liga MX 2026/2027 and he is a man to watch as he has netted 3 of his sides' last 6 in the last 5 games.
- We are taking the alternative market of Both Teams to Score at 1.75 as our main prediction in this match.
A cagey battle, but Chivas are the more likely winner
The Rebaño Sagrado are the clear favorites in the match odds at 1.35, with Queretaro listed at 7.0 and the draw at 4.75, which simply doesn't reflect the fact that the away side have won 3 of their last 4 on the road.
Queretaro have failed to win their last 3 trips to Chivas but we think they can get on the scoresheet, as their firepower will see them hurt the hosts.
Chivas won the reverse fixture 2-1 in Liga MX 2025/2026 and we think they can nick this contest, so the home team draws the single wager in the correct score bet.
