  • León has the most clean sheets (11) in Liga MX

The visiting León played their last game only four days ago, a Liga MX match.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting León have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-2-2 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for León, who are travelling more than 2400 kilometers to play this game.
