Club Leon - Coming off a Defeat Against Guadalajara (LLDWD)

Though Leon is standing in the top five, its current match form isn’t quite spectacular, which might be why Leon is not starting as a favorite. In the last outing against Guadalajara, Leon did manage some momentum throughout the play. However, scoring got a bit tough on them. Jesus Angulo, Brian Rubio, and Jose Alvarado failed to find the net and attack the ball consistently. Moving forward, Leon will be looking to at least secure a draw, as it hasn’t lost an away match in the last 6 away outings. Moreover, Leon has managed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of the last 10 away matches. In the last 10 matches played, Leon has a scoring average of 1.10 goals in the last 10 away outings. Secondly, the conceding average is just 1.00 goals, which makes scoring tough for Tijuana. In the last five matches, Leon scored just 8 and conceded 6 goals. 

Expected Opening Lineup for Club Leon

Rodolfo Cota, Ivan Moreno, Jaine Stiven Barreiro, Adonis Frías, Paul Bellón, Ángel Mena, Fidel Ambríz, Lucas Romero, Elias Hernandez, Lucas Di Yorio, Víctor Dávila.

Club Leon isn’t experiencing the best form; however, the current conceding average for Leon is quite consistent and economical. Leon has scored 2 or more goals in 9 of the last 20 matches.
