Guadalajara enters the second leg with a tiebreaker advantage following a 2–2 draw.
Guadalajara holds the upper hand in the second leg against Cruz Azul due to a tiebreaker advantage. With a 2–2 draw in the previous match, Chivas can advance if the aggregate score remains level, given their higher standing. In contrast, Cruz Azul must secure an outright victory. The match sees Chivas benefiting from the return of five Mexican internationals, while Cruz Azul's recent form, with only one win in 10 games, suggests a challenging task for them.
