After four games we know a little more about the qualities of León and Tijuana in this fresh Liga MX season. Read our match preview!

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This pitch has grass, which is not Tijuana's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Tijuana have performed like this: Played 38 matches resulting in 9 wins, 5 draws and 24 defeats with the goal stats 38-76 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Tijuana when visiting León as the cities are 2400 kilometers apart.

Tijuana form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Liga MX ended in defeat. Last season Tijuana had these away match statistics: Played 4; won 0, drew 1 and lost 3. Tijuana seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Tijuana lost away at León (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A loss against Atlético San Luis was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Tijuana have the goal stats of 0-4 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: León - Tijuana 2-1. Last ten meetings between the teams: León won four, Tijuana won four and two draws. seven games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
