Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Tijuana vs Leon Liga MX Clausura 2023 Matchday 16 Game on April 21, 2023
- Where: Caliente Stadium, Tijuana, Baja California Norte
- When: Friday, April 21, 2023, 11:05 PM E.T.
Betting on Club Tijuana
Tijuana had a tough game against Mazatlan last weekend (2-1), but managed to secure the three points in the final stretch of the match thanks to a penalty in the 81st minute, which Alexis Canelo turned into a goal. It took a month and a half for Tijuana to win again, during which it had five winless games with two draws and three losses.
Miguel Herrera’s team is waking up, but it may be too late, since there are only two matchdays left, but it’s hard to expect consecutive wins from a team that hasn’t done it since July 2022. To make matters worse, Tijuana hasn’t won at home since February, and its last performance at this stadium was a 1-2 loss to Queretaro.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Antonio Rodríguez; Luis Felix, Ismael Govea, Nicolás Díaz, Francisco Contreras; Leonel López, Federico Lértora; Joaquín Montecinos, Fernando Valenzuela, Alexis Canelo; Lucas Cavallini.
Betting on Club Leon
Leon just suffered its third defeat of the season against Chivas with a score of 0-2. This result is concerning, since the team has gone three consecutive games without a win in all competitions. However, it is important to note that before this defeat, the “Esmeralda” squad had gone 10 games without losing in the league.
If Leon wants to advance directly to the Liguilla and avoid the Playoffs, the team needs to win this game and the one in matchday 17, and hopes for favorable results from Chivas and Toluca. But if it lets points slip away, the only thing it can aspire to is to play the Playoffs match at home.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Rodolfo Cota; Iván Moreno, Adonis Frías, Paul Bellón, Oscar Villa; Ángel Mena, Fidel Ambríz, Joel Campbell, Elías Hernández; Lucas Di Yorio, Victor Dávila.
JefeBet Prediction
Leon has only lost one of its seven away games in this tournament, with three wins and three draws. The team hasn’t lost on the road since January 22, when Pumas beat it 4-1. This six-game unbeaten streak makes Leon the favorite to win in the upcoming Tijuana vs Leon exciting match.
Prediction: Leon Moneyline (TIJ 1 – 2 LEON).
