León have come here for an exciting fight versus the home team Guadalajara. Read up on the fixture with this in-depth Liga MX preview!

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting León have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-2-3 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.

The home team returns to Estadio AKRON after being equal after 90 minutes with Santos Laguna (placed 9th) on their last time out; the Liga MX game ended 0-0. Alexis Vega, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.82 (out of 10). Vega hit five key passes, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 22 successful passes (of 25 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Juárez.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Guadalajara have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won four, drawn four and lost three.

The manager V. Vucetich Rojas will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Monterrey in only three days.

Guadalajara has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
