Wed Apr 16 00:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Chivas on Brink of Elimination, Faces Must-Win Match Against Puebla

**Guadalajara, Mexico (April 15, 2025)** – Chivas de Guadalajara faces a crucial match against Puebla this weekend, needing a victory to avoid a disappointing early exit from the Clausura 2025 tournament. Currently sitting in 12th place, well outside the playoff zone, Chivas must win their remaining two games to have any chance of reaching the postseason.

Their opponent, Puebla, is also struggling, boasting a dismal 10-game winless streak. A Puebla victory would effectively eliminate Chivas from contention. For Chivas, a win wouldn’t guarantee a playoff spot, but would bring their points total to 23, potentially pushing them into contention. This would be a significant turnaround for the team, whose last failure to advance past the regular season was in the Apertura 2019 tournament. Since then, Chivas has enjoyed more success, reaching at least the repechaje stage in each subsequent tournament. The pressure is on Chivas to secure a victory and stave off elimination.
