In the final matchday of the 2025 Liga MX Clausura Tournament, an exciting outcome is expected, especially in the fight for the last spot in the Play In round between two renowned teams: Chivas and Pumas. Despite their disappointing performances in the last six months, both clubs still hold hope for qualification.
Chivas finds itself in a more precarious position than Pumas, as it needs specific results to advance in the tournament. On the other hand, Pumas just needs to avoid a slip-up to secure their passage, with Guadalajara closely behind them. Any mistake could mean elimination for either team in this final stretch of the Clausura Tournament.
The match between Chivas and Pumas is scheduled to be played simultaneously on the Saturday matchday, adding a special touch to the rivalry and excitement of both encounters. This simultaneity harks back to earlier times when playoff games were played at the same time, increasing the intensity of the competition.
Regarding Chivas' chances for qualification, the rojiblanco team depends on certain results going their way. Pumas, for its part, has control over its destiny in this decisive matchday. Chivas needs to defeat Atlas and hope that Pumas either draws or loses to Tigres to stay in the race. A draw combined with a two-goal loss for Pumas would also be enough for Chivas, but any other combination of results would eliminate them from contention.
