León form and stats

All-inclusive Liga MX stats at home this season for León are 3-3-2 (wins-draws-losses). It’s been three wins in a row for León here, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

A nice win for León last time playing, versus Tigres UANL. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Ángel Mena (2) scoring for the victors. Attacking player Ángel Mena outperformed all the other players in that match and received a match rating of 9.32 out of 10. Mena scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Tigres UANL (1-2).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how León have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn four and lost one.

The manager A. Holan will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Atlas in only three days.

León are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, León have conceded only 6 goals.
