Club Tijuana vs Club Leon Prediction: Leon Looking to Stay Unbeaten in Away Fixtures

In the upcoming fixture of Liga Mexico, Matchday 16, Club Tijuana will take on Club Leon at the Caliente Stadium in Tijuana. With just 2 more official matches to be played by every side in the league, the points table is likely to get imbalanced. According to the table standings of today, Club Tijuana stands 15th with 3 wins and 15 points, whereas Leon stands 5th with 7 wins and 26 points. With Club Leon standing in the top five, the upcoming matchup might be a chance for Leon to strike through to the top 4 standings. Tijuana and Leon last played against each other in October 2022, and the match ended in a draw (2-2). From the last five matches played between the two, Leon has won twice, and two matches have resulted in a draw. Tijuana is likely to miss out on Jonathan Orozco and Eduardo Armenta for the upcoming matchup due to injuries. On the other hand, Leon will be missing out on Yairo Moreno, William Tesillo, Osvaldo Rodriguez, Jose Rodriguez, and Jose David Ramirez. 

Going in the scheduled contest, Tijuana is coming off a win against Mazatlan FC (1-2), in which Alexis Pedro Canelo scored goals, guiding the team toward an important win. Moving forward with a 4-3-3 formation, Tijuana will depend on the likes of Canelo, Lertora, and Govea. In the last match, Tijuana was quite on point with 4 keeper saves and 12 clearances. With a goal-scoring average of 1.20 goals in the last 10 home matches, Tijuana is likely to score at least a goal. On the other hand, the conceding average is 1.10 goals, which is quite decent. In the last 5 matches played, Club Tijuana scored 8 goals, averaging 1.60 per game. Against the scoring average, Tijuana has conceded 13 goals, which is quite high and needs to be controlled. 

José Antonio Rodriguez, Ismael Govea, Lisandro Lopez, Nicolás Díaz, Francisco Contreras, Federico Lértora, Leonel Lopez, Joaquín Montecinos, Carlos Fernando Valenzuela, Alexis Pedro Canelo, Lucas Cavallini.

Though Leon is standing in the top five, its current match form isn’t quite spectacular, which might be why Leon is not starting as a favorite. In the last outing against Guadalajara, Leon did manage some momentum throughout the play. However, scoring got a bit tough on them. Jesus Angulo, Brian Rubio, and Jose Alvarado failed to find the net and attack the ball consistently. Moving forward, Leon will be looking to at least secure a draw, as it hasn’t lost an away match in the last 6 away outings. Moreover, Leon has managed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of the last 10 away matches. In the last 10 matches played, Leon has a scoring average of 1.10 goals in the last 10 away outings. Secondly, the conceding average is just 1.00 goals, which makes scoring tough for Tijuana. In the last five matches, Leon scored just 8 and conceded 6 goals. 

Rodolfo Cota, Ivan Moreno, Jaine Stiven Barreiro, Adonis Frías, Paul Bellón, Ángel Mena, Fidel Ambríz, Lucas Romero, Elias Hernandez, Lucas Di Yorio, Víctor Dávila.

Club Leon isn’t experiencing the best form; however, the current conceding average for Leon is quite consistent and economical. Leon has scored 2 or more goals in 9 of the last 20 matches. Secondly, Leon has stood unbeaten in the last 6 away matches. Therefore, I am backing Leon to win (1-2) or the match to end in a draw. Tijuana will look to score early and get troops back in the defensive corners. 

• Double Chance - Leon or Draw for 1.53
• Total Over 2.5 for 1.8
• Correct Score 1-2 for 10.00
