Cruz Azul

WWDWWD 📈

Cruz Azul head into this fixture following a 0-0 Liga MX (Clausura) tied result vs Club América.

In that match, Cruz Azul managed 38% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. At the other end, America got 14 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.

Their more recent scorelines highlight the fact that it has been a great time for the Cruz Azul defence. Cruz Azul have given the opposition little, resulting in the total number of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their previous 6 outings standing at 4. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this next game, though.

Pre-game facts show that Cruz Azul:

• have not been beaten in the league by León in their last 6 matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 18 home league matches. It really has been a fortress.

León

WLLLDW

León go into this clash following a 1-0 Liga MX (Clausura) win vs Puebla in their previous outing.

In that match, León managed 65% possession and 14 shots on goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for León was Andrés Guardado (58'). At the other end, Puebla had 5 attempts at goal with 3 on target.

The numbers tell their own story, and León have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 8 goals overall. In defence, León have been far from perfect.

Their previous form shows that León:

• have left without a victory over Cruz Azul when having played them away from home in the previous 2 matches in the league.
• are without an away win for the past 4 league matches.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking over their past head to head meetings going back to 09/10/2022 tells us that these fixtures have not been good ones for León. They have not managed to register any wins at all while Cruz Azul have been dominant against them, winning in 67 per cent of those matches played.

10 goals were scored between the two sides during those clashes, with 7 from La Máquina Azul and 3 created by Los Esmeraldas. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 1.67.

🗞️ Team News: Cruz Azul

In all likelihood, La Máquina Azul will probably line up in a 3-5-2 system for this one with Andres Gudino, Jorge Sanchez, Willer Ditta, Jesus Orozco, Lorenzo Faravelli, Ignacio Rivero, Erik Lira, Carlos Rodriguez, C. Rodolfo Rotondi, Mateusz Bogusz and Angel Sepulveda.

🗞️ Team News: León

From our viewpoint, Los Esmeraldas seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation using Oscar Jimenez, Jose David Ramirez, Jaine Barreiro, Angel Estrada, Salvador Reyes, Nicolas Fonseca, Sebastian Santos, E. Ariel Rigoni, James Rodriguez, Stiven Mendoza and Rodrigo Echeverria.

🔮 Prediction

In this game, León are dangerous enough to put one past this Cruz Azul side, although that might not quite be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re predicting a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Cruz Azul at the end of this one. Could easily see this go either way.
