Chivas will visit Pachuca in Jornada 6 carrying the better run and the sharper edge. After opening the tournament with a 0-2 loss to Toluca, the Rebaño has not lost again, adding wins over FC Juárez, Santos and Tijuana, plus a draw with Puebla, for 10 points from 12 possible.
That is why Pachuca vs Guadalajara is drawing attention now. Chivas has just beaten Tijuana 5-2, a result that ended Tijuana’s unbeaten run, and the team is trying to keep the positive momentum alive while it stays near the top of the table. The match was reported on August 29, and the timing matters because another win would not only strengthen Chivas’ position but also keep it in range to fight for the lead.
Armando González is part of the story too. His departure came after Chivas had already sent a clear signal with the 5-2 win, and that result added to a stretch that has made the team look far more settled than it did in the opening round. Pachuca, by contrast, has spent most of the tournament chasing its first follow-up to an opening 0-3 win over Pumas.
The form line is stark. Pachuca beat Pumas on matchday 1, then failed to win again, losing to Querétaro, León and Puebla while drawing with Atlético San Luis. That leaves Pachuca with one point from its last 12 disputed, a run that has turned this into more than a routine home fixture. Chivas arrives with four wins and three draws in its last 10 visits to Hidalgo, and three straight victories there without allowing a goal from the locals.
Still, this is not an automatic road trip for Chivas. Pachuca usually gives the visitor good results at Hidalgo, and that history complicates the expectation of an easy night for a side that has been better almost everywhere else. EL UNIVERSAL framed the objective simply: maintaining the positive momentum is the main aim for Chivas against Pachuca. The next thing readers need to know is the one detail still missing from the report — exactly when and on what channel or platform Pachuca vs Guadalajara can be watched.
