Game Preview

The home team snatched a win on the road, but with a certain dose of fortune. They opened the game well, netting twice between the 15th and 19th minutes, and after conceding, hit back in the final minutes of the first half. Afterward, Club Leon’s Frias received a red card five minutes following a goal, which boosted the guests and killed the host’s momentum.

Cruz Azul has not lost in its past 17 matches, and it looks pretty good. At home, this team has been near perfect in the past 10 games, posting 9 wins and only one tie. On seven occasions, it has netted at least twice.

Club Leon was recently removed from the FIFA Club World Cup. After that, they couldn’t count on James Rodriguez for the first meeting with Cruz Azul due to his red-card suspension. Eventually, they lost that game at home. It was a pretty bad stretch for the Green Bellies.

They had four wins in a row on the road in La Liga fixtures, but after that, they experienced five straight events without a victory. Also, all the previous 10 of their away events have seen both teams scoring and have had a moderate efficiency, 2 or 3 goals.

Cruz Azul vs. Club Leon Head to Head

Cruz Azul didn’t lose in the last 9 games against Club Leon, winning 8 of them and posting one tie. Also, the past four were with both teams netting and over 2.5 hits.

Cruz Azul vs. Club Leon Predictions

With or without James, Club Leon must go out and attack. There’s no other way for them here. This should create space for chances and goals, so our betting pick here over 2.5 goals. Both teams play efficient games, and this one should be no different.
