It's advantage León so far with their 3rd position in the Liga MX table, welcoming Necaxa who are placed 8th.
The hosts León saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the CONCACAF Champions League. This match was also played here at Estadio León. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Necaxa have had more rest.
León form and stats
As mentioned below, León are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Liga MX games. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for León, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
A nice win for León last time playing, versus Los Angeles FC. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Á. Mena and J. Meneses scoring for the victors. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Atletico San Luis (1-3).
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier León matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, one draw and one defeat (from six games).
Goals are plentiful at Estadio León in the league this season as León has scored 9 goals here in 3 home games. From these home matches, León have conceded only 2 goals.
Necaxa form and stats
Things could have gone better for Necaxa in their Liga MX away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
The manager L. Sosa Cisneros was unhappy after their last game, a Liga MX match played at their home ground Estadio Victoria de Aguascalientes. Necaxa suffered a 2-3 loss to Queretaro (placed 4th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Juarez wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Necaxa when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing zero and winning zero games.
4 goals so far away for Necaxa, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Necaxa - León 2-4. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): León seven wins, two draws and Necaxa one victory. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
