Tijuana will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today's opponents. The home side are currently 6 points behind Leon.
Tijuana and León should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial 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 artificial turf is 2-1-1 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.
León have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Tijuana form and stats

The Tijuana fans got no joy from their last match, a Liga MX game also here at Estadio Caliente: A 0-4 defeat against Monterrey (placed 8th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Juárez (0-3).
Tijuana were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
