A quick peek at the Liga MX table shows that this is top- against mid-table, but that's not all there is to know. Get our León - Guadalajara match preview!
- León have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Guadalajara have the fewest conceded goals (3) away in Liga MX
14-13-15 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Guadalajara when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 42 matches are 51-53 (scored/conceded).
There have been little to rest for the hosting team, as they were involved in a CONCACAF Champions League match only three days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Guastatoya.
León form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what León have to build on here at Estadio León in the Liga MX.
Prior to that, an away loss at Pumas UNAM in the Liga MX.This is expected to be a close game, with León perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with León as a small favourite), we find six games. León has won four of these, drawn one and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the CONCACAF Champions League game versus Guastatoya in only three days. This game is also played here at Estadio León.
León are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. León have only conceded 6 from their league home games.
