Betting on Club Leon
Leon is on fire! After 12 games without losing, the Fiera is currently standing comfortably in third place in the league rankings, fighting tooth and nail for the Liga and Concachampions title. Although it took Nicolás Larcamón some time to find the perfect starting eleven, the team is now firing on all cylinders.
In the local tournament, it crushed Santos 4-1, then traveled to the Kraken and secured an impressive 2-1 victory against Mazatlan. However, its most recent game against America had everything. It drew 2-2 in the dying minutes of the game, but the scoreline was only a small part of the story.
Larcamón was sent off for a confrontation with the America coach, and then there was the incident where referee Fernando Hernández appeared to knee Lucas Romero. The disciplinary committee later suspended the referee. As a result of these issues, Leon may be a bit wounded heading into its upcoming clash.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Rodolfo Cota; Iván Moreno, Jaine Barreiro, Adonis Frías, Osvaldo Rodríguez; Víctor Dávila, Ángel Mena, Fidel Ambriz, Elías Hernández; Lucas Di Yorio, José Alvarado.
Betting on Club de Futbol Cruz Azul
Indeed, there’s no doubt that the Tuca is an excellent coach. Since he took over, the team has grown exponentially, going from being almost eliminated to securing a spot in the playoffs and with possibilities of climbing even higher in the standings.
The coach has only lost one game since taking charge of La Máquina, he ordered the defense and fine-tuned the attack. The only defeat it has could be considered a strange stumble because it looked bad, and Mazatlan beat it at its own stadium.
In its last game, this team beat the reigning champions 2-0 at the Hidalgo stadium with a smart and strategic game plan. In fact, it stayed organized at the back and attacked only when necessary, managing to shoot on target just three times, but two of those attempts resulted in goals.
Possible Lineup: (3-5-1-1): Jesús Corona; Juan Escobar, Ramiro Funes Mori, Julio César Domínguez; Rodrigo Huescas, Uriel Antuna, Erik Lira, Carlos Rotondi, José Rivero; Carlos Rodríguez; Michael Estrada.
JefeBet Prediction
Playing at Nou Camp is no easy feat, but the Azul is not afraid of a challenge, as it proved in its last game at Hidalgo. Despite missing its coach on the sidelines and a key player like Romero, it managed to secure a victory. However, it will face a tough opponent, Leon, who is currently on a winning streak. Threfore, at JefeBet, we predict that this game will end in a draw, as both teams are evenly matched, and it has the feeling of a playoff match.
