León and Pachuca are both riding high in the Liga MX with their 1st and 5th positions respectively. Expect a great game!
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 fewest conceded goals (13) in Liga MX, have performed well so far this season with 6 wins from 8 matches. Points have also been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 1. After failing to beat Cruz Azul here, León has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.In their previous game, the manager I. Ambriz led his León to a defeat in the Liga MX match away at Guadalajara. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Before that game, the 5-2 home victory against Atlas.
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 two games, won 2 matches, drawn 0 and lost 0.
León can score goals in their home matches. After 8 matches they have found the net 19 times. From these home matches, León have conceded only 6 goals.
Pachuca form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Pachuca so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-4 (win-draw-lose). Two points from the last two away games for Pachuca, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.Pachuca are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Liga MX against Atlas. Preceding that game, the 2-2 draw paying a visit to Necaxa.
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 Pachuca playing away, we found three games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 3 home wins.
The attacking power of Pachuca when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored in 8 matches. The Pachuca manager M. Palermo has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
