Queretaro FC vs Club Leon Prediction: Will Leon Lose its Dominance Over Queretaro Due to Injuries?

In the upcoming contest of Liga MX, Clausura Matchday 6, Queretaro will lock horns with Club Leon at the Corregidora Stadium in Santiago de Querétaro. Going in the matchup, Club Leon stands 13th with a win and 4 points from 4 games played in the contest so far. On the other hand, the struggle for Queretaro continues, as it is yet to win a game in the Liga MX 2023 season. Though Leon has multiple injury concerns and red card suspensions, it will try its best to execute the best attack. Queretaro and Leon played last in September 2022 and Leon won (3-1). 

Going in the match against Club Leon, Queretaro is coming off a draw against Guadalajara (1-1), in which Pablo Barrera scored the opening goal in the 81st minute of play. With just 1 shot on target from 6 total shots, Queretaro certainly needs to improve its overall attacking gameplay. It’s high time for Jonathan Torres, Jorge Hernandez, and Rodrigo Lopez to stand up and focus on their individual performances. Going in the contest, Queretaro has drawn its last 3 home fixtures, with no losses in 6 of the last 7 fixtures at home. Talking about the goal scoring and conceding averages at home, Queretaro FC averages 1.70 goals per game, whereas the conceding rate is 1.60 in the last 10 home games. Hence, it’s evident that Queretaro will be playing for a draw against Leon.

Going in the game against Queretaro FC, Leon also carried a struggling form. Leon is coming off a defeat against Pachuca (0-1) and a draw against Toluca (0-0). In 5 of the last 10 away games, Leon has conceded 2 or more goals. On an average, the goal scoring average of Leon is 0.70 goals in the last 10 away fixtures, whereas the conceding rate is 1.80 goals. However, Club Leon has demonstrated a significant lead over Queretaro FC in the last 11 outings. With an unbeaten record against Queretaro in recent fixtures, Leon is likely to secure an important win in the upcoming away outing. Leon will be missing out Joel Campbell and Paul Bellon due to red card suspension. Moreover, Pedro Hernandez, Jose David, Elias Hernandez, and Byron Castillo will be unavailable due to injuries.

• Jose Rodriguez

Going in the fixture, Queretaro is unlikely to be termed as home favorites, as Leon has dominated Queretaro in the five recent outings. However, Leon can also struggle at large, as it will be missing out players due to injuries and suspensions. Considering the goal scoring averages of the two competing sides, I am predicting Leon to win (0-1) or the match to end in a draw (1-1).
