One of the must-watch games during Week 5 of the Liga MX Clausura 2017 will be this Saturday, February 4, 2017 (5:06 PM Pacific) when Club Leon hosts Xolos of Tijuana at the Estadio Leon. These teams have a rivarly which dates back to the Ascenso MX days as well as intriguing playoffs match-ups; most recently at the Apertura 2016 liguilla.
Leon has not fared as well as they would hope to considering they have only earned 4 points from 12 possible. The reason for this is that they have faced Apertura 2016 playoff teams in three of their first four games. The team caoched by Javier Torrente will have an excellent opportunity to add another 3 points to their season when they host Xolos as the border team has never won in Leon since their promotion in 2011.
Xolos of Tijuana enter Saturday’s game as the league’s leaders with 9 points. The team coached by Miguel ‘Piojo’ Herrera has won their last three Liga MX games, the last two against difficult opponents like Chivas of Guadalajara and Cruz Azul. While the team’s offense has been almost invisible in the last two games, the team’s defense has been a real fortitude by allowing zero goals. That defense did suffer a serious setback this week after defender Yasser Corona was lost for the season after being seriously injured in the vertebrae during the Copa MX game.
