This could potentially be one of the more exciting quarterfinal fixtures in the Copa MX as there is potential for plenty of goals in this clash. Leon is now under the leadership of the experienced Ignacio Ambriz and is coming off a 4-0 win against Veracruz in league play and defeated Necaxa 2-0 in the round of 16 of the Copa MX to get to this fixture.
Ambriz fielded a strong team against Necaxa that included players like Mauro Boselli, William Tesillo and Alexander Mejia. The Mexican manager is likely to do the same in this clash with the opportunity to advance to the semifinals of the tournament.
Pumas UNAM broke a massive drought after defeating Chivas in Guadalajara in the round of 16 of the Copa MX. It had been 36 years since the Mexico City side won against Chivas away from home and it was an impressive 3-1 victory for Pumas at the Estadio Akron.
Los Felinos had plenty of talent on the pitch in that game with players like Matias Alustiza, Juan Manuel Iturbe and Felipe Mora. David Patino will give some youngsters a chance, but will also utilize some of his more experienced players, which makes for a very competitive lineup.
