Guardianes 2020 Repechaje preview: Chivas vs Necaxa and Santos Laguna vs Pachuca ready to duel it out
The playoffs have arrived in Liga MX for this 2020 Guardianes season. Thanks to the international FIFA break, teams had an extra week to prepare for the playoffs. The top four teams have two options. Just over two weeks to prepare, they will be very fresh and ready for their matchup, or they will not be in synchronization and rusty when they take the field. The wild card team is ready to compete for the title.
Chivas and Necaxa will measure their strength in the repechage of the Apertura 2020 today, Saturday, November 21 at 10:10 p.m., Eastern time, from Akron Stadium field, in a match that you can watch live in Telemundo in the United States and TUDN in Mexico. Although Necaxa got their pass to the playoffs on the last day of the season, it would seem that they are underdogs. Still, they closed the Guardianes regular season with six consecutive games without defeat.
