León will be hoping to bounce back here following the 1-0 Liga MX (Clausura) defeat in their last game at the hands of Universidad Nacional.

In that match, León had 37% possession and 11 shots at goal with 4 on target. On the other side, UNAM had 18 shots at goal with 6 on target. Piero Quispe (68') was the scorer for Universidad Nacional.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games where León have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that León have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 7 goals along the way.

Heading into this contest, León haven't beaten Monterrey in their last 4 league games.
