The Leon vs Club America match will be live online and on TV as La Fiera host Las Aguilas at the Nou Camp at 5:00 PM Pacific this Wednesday, August 22, 2018.
Leon has been one of the worst teams in the Liga MX 2018 Apertura with just four points from its first five games. Los Esmeraldas are coming from a very disappointing 3-0 loss against Cruz Azul away from home and are still winless at home this season. Alexander Mejia inclusively received a red card in that game against La Maquina and will not be available for this game. The midfield will miss Mejia’s presence as he does command the middle of the park and helps out defensively as well. Leon does have some talented players like Rodolfo Cota, Luis Montes and Mauro Boselli, but has been unable to find a suitable style of play under manager Gustavo Diaz. Leon’s only win in this tournament was a 4-0 victory against Queretaro, but that is an unlikely scoreline against Club America.
Las Aguilas have 10 points from their first five games in the 2018 Apertura with wins against Atlas, Pachuca and Monterrey. Miguel Herrera’s side is coming off a surprising 1-1 draw against Queretaro, but should be able to bounce back after an upsetting result. Alexander Mejia’s presence will be missed even more against a team like America that has midfielders like Guido Rodriguez and Mateus Uribe. Fullback Paul Aguilar is coming off an injury and manager Miguel Herrera has already announced that he will not be available for this game. “Piojo” also announced the inclusion of Carlos Vargas in the starting 11 in place of Luis Reyes in the left-back role. Los Azulcremas have plenty of depth and one of the more stacked squads in the league that should make them the favorites against a team like Leon.
Leon vs Club America Prediction
Leon has been struggling heavily this season and should not be able to provide a competitive effort against one of the better teams in the league. FutnSoccer predicts a 3-1 win for Club America in a game that should be pretty straightforward at the Nou Camp.
