- Ignacio Ambriz is the new head coach of Leon.
- Leon have not won any of their last 5, drawing 2 and losing 3.
- They lost 2-0 at Santos Laguna and 4-2 at home to Toluca.
- Ambriz will look to make Leon more of a pragmatic team than they were under the high-pressing, wide-attacking style of former boss Berizzo, as per this CF Atlas Guadalajara vs Leon betting tips preview.

Prediction
- This CF Atlas Guadalajara vs Leon prediction suggests it will be a clash of styles between Cocca’s risk-averse side and Ambriz’s more balanced team, but in the end, both will be looking for a win because they need points in a tough section of the table.
- Leon have won only once away in 6 games in Liga MX 2025/2026, losing 4 times, so it’s hard to go against the hosts here, given their recent home form.
- However, there is a good chance of goals at both ends as Atlas have an average of 2.17 scored per home game in Liga MX 2025/2026, which is also the average number Leon have conceded away.
