Insights:
  • León have the the best goal difference (+13) in Liga MX
  • Juárez have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

León form and stats

León, who have the the best goal difference (+13) in Liga MX, have been outstanding at home so far in the Liga MX with 7 wins, 1 draw and only 0 losses. With a nice streak brewing from their home games, León are also looking for their fifth consecutive victory regardless of location. Hopes of three in a row are alive for León after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The fans are hoping that León will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the CONCACAF Champions League game against Toronto. Before that match, a Liga MX win away at Atlas.

The manager M. Ambriz Espinoza will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Mazatlan in only four days.

León have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio León with 15 goals in 8 league matches. From these home matches, León have conceded only 7 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

A depressing four defeats in a row for Juárez in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Guadalajara.

Juárez might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Tigres UANL proved too strong as Juárez slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Atletico San Luis.

Juárez have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Juárez have conceded 13 goals in their away games.
