Necaxa

Preview

León

• Leon 13th on seven.
• Leon have been winless in their last five league games, so far failing to overcome an inconsistent start to the Clausura.

Necaxa

• Necaxa 10th on nine points.
• His counterpart, Martín Varini, has been getting Necaxa to play a completely different style, and it is a more direct and high-tempo version of León’s approach.
• Their attacking style is extremely fluid, with Julián Carranza and Badaloni often swapping positions and being able to cause damage on the counter and from set pieces.

Key Players

• León’s main attacking threat is Ismael Díaz, who regularly creates chances from the left.
