Dorados de Sinaloa will visit Tepatitlán FC this Thursday, September 3rd, at the Estadio Gregorio “Tepa” Gómez, in a match corresponding to Jornada 7 of the Apertura 2026 of the Liga de Expansión MX. The game is scheduled for 8:00 PM Central Mexico time. The Sinaloa squad arrives with five points, the product of one win, two draws, and two losses, with eight goals scored and nine conceded. Meanwhile, Tepatitlán has accumulated three points after six matchdays, with one win and five defeats, in addition to four goals for and 18 against, a difference of -14.

The historical record favors Tepatitlán: both clubs have faced each other 15 times since 2020, with six wins for the Jalisco team, four for Dorados, and five draws. In the five most recent encounters, Tepatitlán won two, Dorados won one, and there were two draws. The most recent antecedent ended 0-0 on January 30, 2026, in Tijuana, while in August 2025, the Alteños won 3-0 at home. Furthermore, the Sinaloa squad has not been able to defeat Tepatitlán as a visitor since their 1-0 victory on March 15, 2025.

Among the players to watch is Jhan Rengifo, who has scored three goals in the Apertura 2026 and is currently Dorados' main offensive threat. Oscar Daniel Coronel also stands out, having already registered one goal in the tournament. For Tepatitlán, Said Castañeda and José Godínez are players to consider: Castañeda was a starter in the recent 6-0 defeat against Cruz Azul Hidalgo, while Godínez also started that match; the Alteño team will seek to correct a defense that has conceded three goals per game on average during the tournament.
