Leon Preview
León was unable to make its debut on matchday 1 against Mazatlán due to the unfortunate events that took place in Sinaloa. This matchday they will play in front of their home fans in the land where life is worthless.
They reinforced well during the transfer window with Brian Ribio, Ivan Moreno and Lucas Romero. In addition, Leon also already have Jesús Angulo in their ranks, who will reinforce the midfield and looks to be the heir to Chapo Montes, who has already left for Everton de Viña del Mar, ending his great career with La Fiera.
With Nicolás Larcamon leading the team, they had a great performance during the preseason, winning five games. Since they have not played matchday 1, it is going to be a little uncertain to know what Leon is capable of, but they are undoubtedly candidates for the title.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Rodolfo Cota, Stiven Barreiro, William Tesillo, Fidel Ambríz, Joel Campbell, Yairo Moreno, José Rodríguez, Yairo Moreno, José Alvarado, Brian Rubio, Víctor Dávila
Necaxa Preview
Necaxa did not have a great presentation, and the only highlight was the tribute to Don Ramon (one of the most renowned Mexican actors) with a spectacular uniform paying homage to the character. Los Rayos are living in their centennial year, but they are far from being consistent.
On defense, they made some very silly mistakes that put them 2-3 down on the scoreboard against San Luis. They were never not to recoveruntil the 90th minute, but it is a reality that Andres Lillini’s team does not work so well collectively.
Including the matchs played during the preseason, Necaxa registers 5 games without a win. They have to find consistency, but due to the friendly nature of the Mexican tournament, they don’t need to shine on the first days to qualify for the playoffs.
Probable Lineup (4-4-2): Marcelo Barovero, Ricardo Chavez, Jesus Piñuelas, Unai Bilbao, Uziel Garcia, Jhon Murillo, Rodrigo Dourado, Andres Iniestra, Juan Manuel Sanabria, Dieter Villalpando, Leo Bonatini
JefeBet Prediction
León will make its debut with a victory in front of its fans. On the other side, Necaxa will be struggling for a long time and the year of its centennial will be very complicated.
La Fiera will undoubtedly be one of the candidates for the title. They will be a strong local team and Larcamon, with a more powerful squad, could achieve great things this season.
Prediction: Leon 2-0 Necaxa
