📏 Form Guide

Universidad Nacional

DWLDLL

Universidad Nacional will be looking for an improved result here following a 1-0 Liga MX (Clausura) defeat in their last game at the hands of Toluca.

In that game, Universidad Nacional had 48% possession and 9 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Toluca had 12 shots at goal with 4 on target. Alexis Canelo (88') scored for Toluca.

Fewer than three goals per game were recorded in 5 of the last 6 fixtures where Universidad Nacional have taken part. In terms of the goal distribution from this period, opposition teams scored a total of 4 and Pumas got themselves 3. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to follow through here, of course.

Their prior results show that Universidad Nacional:

• have not registered a win against León in their previous 4 league games.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 12 home league matches. They have been so resilient here.

León

WLDWLL

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Club Tijuana in Liga MX (Clausura) action, León and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, León had 59% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. On the other side, Club Tijuana had 10 shots on goal with 5 on target. Mauro Manotas (7') and Fabián Castillo (95') scored for Club Tijuana.

Ignacio Ambriz's León have converted a total of 6 times throughout their latest 6 matches. The aggregate of goals that they have conceded during that same period comes to 8.

Looking at the pre-match facts, León:

• haven't been beaten by Universidad Nacional when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• are without a win away from home in their last 3 league games.

👥 Head to head

An examination of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 24/02/2019 shows that these encounters have been pretty painful for Universidad Nacional. They have not been able to come away with any victories at all whereas León have just been too good for them, beating them in 83 per cent of those games where they have faced each other.

A sum of 17 goals were yielded between them throughout the course of those matches, with 4 of them from Pumas and 13 for Los Esmeraldas. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.83.
