📏 Form Guide

León

WDWDWL

León won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 2-0 Liga MX (Clausura) defeat last time out to Tigres de la UANL.

In that game, León managed 56% possession and 1 shots at goal with 0 of them on target. For their opponents, Tigres de la UANL got 9 attempts at goal with 3 on target. André-Pierre Gignac (40') and Carlos Gonzalez (67') scored for Tigres de la UANL.

Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that much respect should be given to the León rearguard. Los Esmeraldas have been stingy, with the number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous 6 games standing at 4.

Pre-game facts show that León:

• have not been beaten in the league by Pachuca in their previous 5 matches.
• are unbeaten in their previous 29 league matches at home. An amazing run.

Pachuca

WLWLDD ⚖

In their previous game, Pachuca drew 1-1 in the Liga MX (Clausura) tie with FC Juárez.

In that match, Pachuca had 72% possession and 20 shots on goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Pachuca was Mauro Quiroga (95'). On the other side, FC Juárez had 5 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Víctor Velázquez (41') scored for FC Juárez.

In 5 of the past 6 clashes involving Pachuca, a relatively low number of goals have been struck between them and their opposition. The overall average number of goals per game during that period comes to just 1.5, with the average goals for Los Tuzos standing at 1. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this next game, however.

Looking at their past form shows that Pachuca:

• are winless against León when they've played them away from home in the last 3 league matches.
• are undefeated in their last 4 league matches away from home.
