Club Leon played a good game on the road during the mid-week which they were close to winning but was ruined by a late goal from Morelia. The team coached by Luis Fernando Tena can now turn to the comfort of his home crowd and stadium in his goal to win or tie by one goal or less. The ‘fiera’ will undoubtedly have a very difficult opponent in Morelia, yet they are favored to win due to their home support and better performances throughout the season.

Monarcas Morelia continue to be a surprise-factor this season as they obtained a good result with their 1-1 tie in the first-leg. The team coached by Enrique Meza has a very uncomfortbale visit on Saturday as they must tie by two or more goals, or win in Guanajuato to reach the semifinals. While Morelia is the underdog in this clash, it will not be surprising to see them go into the next round.
