Fri Nov 22 00:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Chivas Face Do-or-Die Match Against Atlas to Secure Liga MX Playoff Spot

**Guadalajara, Mexico** – Chivas de Guadalajara are facing a must-win situation against their city rivals, Atlas, in a crucial Liga MX match at Estadio Akron tonight. The game, airing at 7 pm ET on Telemundo Deportes (Spanish on Universo, English on the Telemundo Digital app and streaming service), will determine Chivas’ fate in the playoffs.

After a recent loss to Atlético San Luis, Chivas dropped to ninth place, forcing them into a sudden-death Play-In match against tenth-placed Atlas. Only the top six teams automatically qualify for the Liga MX playoffs. The winners of the Play-In matches (9 vs 10 and 7 vs 8) advance to face the losers of the other Play-In match-ups.

A victory for Chivas against Atlas would send them on to face the loser of the América vs. Xolos match. Further victory would then pit them against Cruz Azul in the main playoff bracket. However, a loss to Atlas would end Chivas’ season. The stakes are incredibly high for this historic Guadalajara derby.
