León and Vancouver Whitecaps get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Leagues Cup Group Stage fixture.
This football field uses grass, unlike Vancouver Whitecaps's home ground. The previous 29 games by the visitors on grass have ended with 5 wins, 10 draws and 14 losses.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 4400 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
León form and stats
Only two Liga MX home games for León so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
No payout for León in their previous match, an away game at Tigres UANL that ended in defeat 0-1. Barreiro was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.05 out of 10. The defender Barreiro hit one key pass and won 8 of 10 duels.
Before that game, the 4-0 home victory against Pachuca.There will be little rest for León after this match as they are travelling to LA Galaxy for a Leagues Cup game in only four days.
Early season league goal statistics from León's 2 home games: {5 goals}, 2 conceded.
Vancouver Whitecaps form and stats
Gauld (2), White and Córdova scored in Vancouver's previous match, the home game against LA Galaxy that ended 4-2. As you can tell from the result, the match against LA Galaxy was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? A victory against LA Galaxy as mentioned above, but the margin of victory could have been bigger as Vancouver Whitecaps hit the posts three times. The attacker Gauld got a match rating of 9.44 in that game. Gauld scored two goals, hit the woodwork once, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 41 successful passes (of 47 total).
Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Austin in the Major League Soccer.Head 2 Head
