Club Leon vs Atletico de San Luis Prediction: Leon Favorites at Home

In the upcoming matchup of Liga Mexico, the pre-quarter final stage, Club Leon will be hosting Atletico de San Luis at the León Stadium in Leon. The inclusion of Jose Rodriguez, Jose David, and Jose Alvarado is doubtful in Leon’s starting lineup. On the other hand, Atletico de San Luis is likely to miss out on Marcelo Barovero, Andres Iniestra, and Aldo Cruz due to injuries. Leon and Atletico de San Luis last played against each other in March this year, and Leon won 2-0. Leon has defeated Atletico de San Luis thrice in the last five matches played.

Going in the matchup, Leon is coming off a win against Tigres (3-1) in the CONCACAF Champions League Semi-Final. Fidel Ambriz, Angel Mena, and Adonis Frias scored goals, getting their side a 4-3 aggregate win in the second leg. With 2 wins, 2 defeats, and a draw in the last five matches played, Leon will be looking to keep pushing the winning run. With the presence of Brian Rubio and Hector Guevara in the starting lineups, Club Leon will be looking to tackle the visitors smartly in the qualification matchup leading to the quarterfinal. Leon has scored 7 and conceded 5 goals in the last five matches across all competitions. Hence, the striking average is 1.40 goals per game, and the conceding average is 1.00 goals per game.

On the last matchday of the regular season, Atletico de San Luis managed to clinch a goalless draw against Atlas (0-0), in which it managed a possession of 62% and had 3 shots on target. Moreover, Atletico de San Luis recorded 28 clearances and blocked 4 shots. With 2 wins, 2 defeats, and a draw in the last five matches played, Atletico de San Luis is struggling through inconsistent match form. However, the upcoming eliminator may produce the best version of San Luis this season. Talking about the scoring, San Luis has scored and conceded 6 goals in the last five matches, averaging 1.20 goals per game. In order to get a grip on opponents scoring, San Luis will have to improve its striking average in the competition.

For the upcoming matchup, Leon will definitely be starting as favorites. However, Atletico de San Luis will be looking forward to upsetting the opposition and unsettling their home advantage. With both sides scoring and allowing goals in the previous matchups, I am predicting both sides to score. The match total is expected to be over 2.5 goals, and the winner is to score 2 or more goals.
