CD Guadalajara Team News
CD Guadalajara, commonly known as Chivas, head into this match with several injury concerns, similar to their opponents. Javier Hernandez, Leonardo Sepulveda, Miguel Tapias, and Richard Ledezma have all been ruled out.
The visitors haven’t had the greatest of runs so far in this tournament, with one defeat and a draw. Their draw against Charlotte eventually swung their way in a penalty shootout, where they converted four spot-kicks to their opponents’ two.

With their usual 3-4-2-1 formation, manager Gabriel Milito ensured that his wards focused on defense and passed the ball with intent, especially in the final third. As a result, they dominated possession, keeping 61% of the ball and taking 19 shots, six of which were on target.
Chivas have now scored seven goals in their last five outings, averaging just over one per game, and conceded eight goals over the same span.

FC Cincinnati vs CD Guadalajara Prediction
- Pick: FC Cincinnati to win
- Odds: -133 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: FC Cincinnati 2-1 CD Guadalajara
We expect Cincinnati to win this game. The quality they have in their ranks makes them the clear favorite, ensuring that they remain unscathed through every challenge sent their way by their opponents. They sit eighth in the MLS side of the Leagues Cup table, but their tactics and overall execution suggest they’re a stronger team than their current position indicates.
The hosts’ 3-4-3 formation gives them an advantage, as it allows them to overlap on their wings and push two wingbacks back to aid their defenders when they lose the ball. Much of Cincinnati’s attacking threat comes from the flanks, where they can trouble opposition defenders in one-on-one situations.
FC Cincinnati vs CD Guadalajara Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -189 (20Bet)
The Chivas defense showcased immense skill in their last game against Charlotte, winning 75% of the tackles and making nine interceptions as well as 17 clearances, which goes to show how impressive their three-man backline could be.
Still, with the likes of Ferreira, Kamara, and Orellano operating in the Cincinnati front line, we expect them to find a way past Chivas’ defensive setup.
Similarly, when the home team push forward to attack, they often leave gaps on the wings that the Mexican side can exploit. Alvarez and Alvarado will likely be the ones tasked with breaching the Cincinnati fort in the upcoming match.
