The match marks the 4th round of the competition, with León currently sitting in 14th place with 2 points, while Necaxa occupies 12th spot with 3 points.
León, coached by Jorge Rodrigo Bava, have been struggling to find consistency, having won none of their last three matches.

They have managed just one win in their last three matches, with losses to Monterrey and Toluca being offset by a victory over Mazatlán. In their previous game, Necaxa suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat at home against Monterrey.
The two teams have a rich history, having faced each other five times recently. León holds the upper hand, boasting three wins, while Necaxa has secured one win and there has been one draw. When they last met on April 1st, 2024, at Estadio Victoria de Aguascalientes, León emerged victorious with a 2-1 win.

Bet
Considering the recent form and historical records, a home win for León seems the most attractive option at odds of 1.9.

Additionally, Necaxa's struggles on the road, scoring an average of just 0.5 goals per game away from home, could play into León's hands.
