León have performed excellent football so far this season, being 3rd spot in the table. Necaxa have a view both up and down the table from the 10th place.
- León have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Necaxa have the fewest points from losing position (0) in Liga MX
León have less rest than Necaxa in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Liga MX game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Cruz Azul.
León form and stats
2-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga MX numbers at home for León so far this season.
León are confident in defense, having played 272 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A good away victory last time out for León, who won 1-0 against Cruz Azul (placed 7th). Goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.15 out of ten. Cota stopped the opponent with five saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Toluca that finished 0-0.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from León's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played twelve games, won eight matches, drawn two and lost two.
León are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. León are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio León in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 7 matches.
Necaxa form and stats
There's been little loot from Necaxa's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the Liga MX. Necaxa only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
Impressive finishing from Maximiliano Salas and Alex Zendejas secured the home win 2-1 against Mazatlan in their previous game. Maximiliano Salas came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Mazatlan last time out, making the manager P. Guede Barriero feel like a tactical genius. Late drama in the previous game, when Maximiliano Salas scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time to defeat Mazatlan. Midfield player Alex Zendejas was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.35/10. Zendejas scored one goal, hit three key passes and had 31 successful passes (of 33 total).
Prior to that result Necaxa won their away game at Monterrey. The scoreline was 1-0.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Necaxa playing away, we found eight games. Results were two away wins, one draw and five home wins.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Necaxa as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Necaxa have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
