Chivas’ looong streak against Pachuca!

August 27, 2026 - 00:49

Some rivalries are defined by a single match, but the one between Chivas and Pachuca has been defined by a long, stubborn pattern. Since 2022, the Rebaño Sagrado has not lost to the Tuzos, and that streak will be on the line again this weekend as the two sides meet for Matchday 6 of the current season.

The numbers are clear. In their last eight meetings across all competitions, Chivas have taken four wins and four draws. That includes a pair of tense playoff battles where Guadalajara came out on top, and a regular season game last year that ended in a 2-2 thriller at Estadio Akron. The most recent clash, a 1-0 win for Chivas in the semifinal of the Clausura 2024, still stings for Pachuca fans, who felt their side deserved more on the night.

But streaks are made to be broken, and Pachuca will be desperate to end this one. They have a new coach, a reshaped midfield, and a home crowd that will not let them forget the last few results. Chivas, meanwhile, have their own issues. They have been inconsistent away from home, and their attack has struggled to find a rhythm in the early weeks of the season.

Still, there is something about this matchup that brings out the best in the Guadalajara side. Their defensive line has been solid, and their counter-attacks have caught Pachuca off guard time and again. The Tuzos will need to be patient, move the ball quickly, and avoid the individual errors that have cost them in previous meetings.

The pressure is on both benches. A win for Chivas would extend the streak to nine games and send a message to the rest of the league. A win for Pachuca would end a long wait and give their season a much-needed boost. Either way, expect a tight, physical game with plenty of tension. The streak may not last forever, but for now, it is the story of this fixture.
