Predictions, Picks, and Betting Odds for the America vs Leon Liga MX Clausura 2023 Matchday 13 Game on April 1, 2023

- When: Saturday, April 1, 2023, 7:05 PM E.T.
Betting on Club America
América qualified directly, being third in the overall standings, but the team got defeated by Pachuca at the Azteca. The result of that match was misleading, as the goalkeeper had a lot to do with it, and the Águilas had two goals disallowed.
Still, that only motivated the team even more, and it went into the Volcán ready to defeat Tigres 2-0 with superiority. Moreover, the following match was one of the best moments of Fernando Ortiz’s América and, perhaps, even the best moment of the team in the last few years.
They won the national derby, leaving their rivals in the dust at their own home. With a dynamic and robust performance, the team defeated Chivas 4-2 and managed to look like the America of Biyik, Kalusha, and company. The team overpowered its fierce rivals and reinforced its candidacy for the title,with Henry Martin and Jonathan Rodriguez leading the attack.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Luis Malagón; Emilio Lara, Israel Reyes, Sebastián Cáceres, Salvador Reyes; Leo Suárez, Jonathan Dos Santos, Álvaro Fidalgo, Jonathan Rodríguez; Henry Martin, Diego Valdés.
Betting on Leon
Larcamón has finally cracked the code to success for his team after a shaky start, and they have now recorded six wins in a row, including a Concaf champions title, where they eliminated Tauro without any problems.
The team is a force to be reckoned with at home. It defeated Santos by a 4-1 difference, and took advantage of an early red card for Hugo Rodríguez, which evidenced that teams should not give any leeway in Guanajuato.
The problem arises when the team plays on the road, where it manages to win, but not with the same dominance. The team’s recent matches provide a clear insight: a 2-1 victory against Mazatlán in the Kraken, a 1-0 win against Atlas in Jalisco, a 1-0 victory against Tauro in Rommel Fernández, and a goalless draw against Juárez. It is evident that the team struggles to leave the safety of its home field.
Possible lineup (5-3-2): Rodolfo Cota; Iván Moreno, Jaine Barreiro, Adonis Frías, Osvaldo Rodríguez, Oscar Villa; Lucas Romero, Fidel Ambriz, Elías Hernández; José Alvarado, Lucas Di Yorio.
JefeBet Prediction
The América is a great home team and has only lost once, against Pachuca because of Oscar Jiménez’s mistakes. Despite that, the team has won three matches and drawn two, proving it is as a force to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, León may excel on its home turf, but it tends to struggle a bit when playing away.
The history between the two teams tells us that, excluding the Liguilla, León has not won in the regular season at the Azteca since 2016, when it defeated the Águilas 2-0 at their home. The team’s last victory took place at the semifinals of the Clausura 19, thanks to a 1-0 win at the Azteca.
On this occasion, at JefeBet, we believe that León won’t be able to repeat their 2019 success and will lose against América this time around. The Águilas team is playing quite well and going through a favorable moment.
Prediction: Moneyline of America (AME 2-1 LEO).
