Chivas Guadalajara focus
Former Mexico international Alan Pulido leads the line for Chivas, while veteran Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez and USMNT youngster Cade Cowell are useful options off the bench if Chivas needs a goal late on. They will be buoyed by their midweek, and unexpected, win against America but know it will be tough to back it up.
Club America focus
Spaniard Alvaro Fidalgo and USMNT forward Alejandro Zendejas are the top scorers for America with five goals each during the Clausura, as both love to arrive late from attacking midfield positions. America have the best defensive record in the competition so far with just seven goals conceded across 10 games. Mexico star Henry Martin is their main main in attack.
Chivas vs America prediction
This will be another tight game and a draw is the smart bet, especially as they have to play again in midweek. Chivas Guadalajara 1-1 Club America.

Why is Dundee's Robertson training with Ramos at Monterrey?
You would be forgiven for doing a double take if you came across recent footage of Dundee's Finlay Robertson training with Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos. As part of the Dens Park side's strategic partnership with Monterrey, 22-year-old Robertson has joined up with the Mexican club to train this summer. Advertisement That has seen Robertson rub shoulders with multiple Champions League winner Ramos, who joined Rayados in February, as well as former Sevilla forward Lucas Ocampos and ex-Spain midfielder Sergio Canales. Monterrey are involved in this summer's Club World Cup and open their group fixtures against Inter Milan on Wednesday. Some social media speculation suggested Robertson could be registered to play in the tournament, but he does not appear to be in the squad. So how did all of this come about? While Monterrey representatives were checking up on Mexican youngsters Victor Lopez and Cesar Garza, who joined Dundee in January, they were impressed by academy graduate Robertson. Advertisement "One of the directors of Monterrey came over to watch to see how Chespi and Cesar were doing," midfielder Robertson said. "They watched training throughout the week and signalled me out as one they would like to see more of." And how is the 22-year-old finding it? "It's a bit surreal at times being on the same training pitch with such big names," he added. "But showing you can hold your own with them, it fills me with confidence."

'Realistic' LAFC not as good as Chelsea
Los Angeles FC goalkeeper Hugo Lloris admits Chelsea are at a "different level" and that his side are the minnows of the group at the Club World Cup. The former Tottenham captain, now 38, will face English opposition again at the tournament in the United States at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Advertisement When asked about LAFC's prospects, after they won a play-off match against Mexican side Club America, he said: "We have nothing to lose, especially against an opponent like Chelsea. It will be hard, European clubs can do everything quicker. "We come here with a lot of humility. We just take it game by game. I cannot hide that the standard of the other opponents are higher than ours. Especially Chelsea, then Flamengo and Tunis is a competitive club in Africa. "Listen, we just want to come here to enjoy the competition, try to get the best result we can but we also have to be realistic, to compare an MLS game and a Club World Cup game is really hard." The former World Cup-winning goalkeeper with France added it isn't just European clubs that have player workload concerns with the addition of another competition, adding: "To be honest with you, when I came to the MLS, I expected a rhythm of games less intense than in Europe but then you realise you travel a lot. Advertisement "Everywhere is the same, there are a lot of competitions and players have to adapt to the schedule. "For us, as soon as we finish the tournament, we have to go back to a routine of the MLS games which is not easy either. I am not here to question the schedule. I am just here to tell you we are enjoying being here and to do our best." Lloris also said the match has no special significance as a former Spurs player but that he still "follows the news" about the club, and saw that manager Ange Postecoglou was sacked despite winning the Europa League and was replaced by former Brentford boss Thomas Frank last week. He added: "Nothing surprises me in football. But I don't know what happened inside the club so it really hard for me to judge. If they made this decision it is because they believe there is another option which is better for the future of the club. Advertisement "Thomas Frank did amazing job at Brentford. But Postecoglou deserves a lot of credit, the players as well, it is not easy to win that kind of competition "What Ange Postecoglou did was just remarkable. He brought this Europa League trophy, he brought a lot of joy to the Spurs community, a lot of pride as well and we all have to be thankful for that."

Club World Cup participants ‘have to adapt to schedule', Hugo Lloris says
LAFC goalkeeper Hugo Lloris believes footballers competing in the FIFA Club World Cup simply 'have to adapt to the schedule' of another summer of competitive football in an increasingly relentless calendar. The goalkeeper also insists that the top European clubs participating do not face greater challenges than their opponents from the rest of the football world. Advertisement The 38-year-old and LAFC were the last of 32 clubs to qualify for the inaugural edition of FIFA president Gianni Infantino's controversial expanded Club World Cup, defeating Club America 2-1 after extra time in a playoff last month to take the place vacated by Club Leon's disqualification from the tournament due to violation of FIFA's multi-club ownership rules. FIFA's introduction of a new, vast summer tournament has stoked opposition from domestic leagues, clubs and player unions around the world. One of the most prominent and persistent criticisms has been the lack of consideration afforded to player welfare, with leading players at the participating clubs subjected to significantly increased workloads. But none of that appears to have greatly moved Lloris, who enjoyed a highly distinguished 19-year professional career in Europe with Nice, Lyon and Tottenham Hotspur — much of it as the starting goalkeeper for the French national team — before leaving to join LAFC on a free transfer in the summer of 2024. 'To be honest with you, when I came to MLS, I expected a rhythm of games less intense than in Europe,' Lloris said. 'But then you start to realise you travel a lot, there are as many games as in Europe, you are also involved in the Champions League, CONCACAF, the Club World Cup, and the cup against the Mexican teams. 'Everywhere is the same, there are a lot of competitions and players have to adapt to the schedule. Also, you cannot say being involved in the Club World Cup is not exciting for the players. Then there will be the moment to decide, especially for the European players, how many days, how many weeks are they going to get off mentally, physically for the next season. 'For us, as soon as we finish the tournament, we have to go back to a routine of the MLS games which is not easy either. Players have to adapt to the schedule. I am not here to question the schedule. I am just here to tell you we are enjoying being here and to do our best.' Advertisement While he is determined to embrace the Club World Cup, Lloris is under no illusions that LAFC are underdogs in a group featuring Chelsea, Flamengo and Esperance de Tunis. 'We come here with a lot of humility,' he added. 'We just take it game by game. I cannot hide that the standard of the opponents are higher than ours. Especially Chelsea, then Flamengo and Tunis is a competitive club in Africa. 'We just want to come here to enjoy the competition, try to get the best result we can but we also have to be realistic. First, we focus on Chelsea.' You can sign up to DAZN to watch every FIFA Club World Cup game for free.
