Chivas de Guadalajara led by Veljko Paunovic are completing a tournament fairly regularly, something that has been demanded for some time and they will be fighting for the championship until the end, being clear candidates along with América and Rayados de Monterrey.
As a curious fact, it is worth noting that the last three times in which Chivas added 34 points they got their ticket to the final, the last time being 2017 in which the Flock ended up lifting the champions' trophy.
