A new edition of the Clásico Tapatío is almost here, and Chivas is rolling into Saturday night’s Matchday 11 clash of the Apertura 2026 with a serious swagger. They’re looking to extend their unbeaten streak against their fiercest rivals, Atlas, to a stunning seven matches. This isn’t just a good run, folks, this is a statement.
The Streak That’s Got Jalisco Talking
Chivas has been absolutely lights out against their neighbors from Nextipac, putting together three wins and three draws in their last six meetings. We’re talking about an overwhelming +8 goal difference here, with Rebaño Sagrado bagging 10 goals while only letting in a measly two. And get this: they’ve kept Atlas off the scoreboard completely in three of those matchups. That’s serious defense. It’s clear who’s been running things in these clashes, and the numbers don’t lie.
Milito’s Mastery Over Atlas Is Unmatched
The man behind the curtain, Chivas manager Gabriel Milito, has a perfect record in the Clásico Tapatío when it comes to domestic competition. We’re not talking about a lucky win or two, either. He absolutely thrashed the rojinegros 4-1 in his very first meeting, a huge statement right out of the gate. Then, he went right back and did it again last tournament, securing a solid 2-1 victory. When Milito steps onto the pitch for this rivalry, he knows how to get it done, and Atlas just hasn’t figured out a way to stop him.
This Saturday night, Rebaño Sagrado has another chance to prove who truly rules the state of Jalisco. It’s Matchday 11, the stakes are high, and all eyes will be on whether Chivas can keep this incredible run going and make it seven matches without a loss.
