The Leon vs LAFC CONCACAF Champions League match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Esmeraldas host the Black and Gold at the Nou Camp this Tuesday, February 18, at 7:00 p.m. Pacific.
Leon has been one of the best teams in the Liga MX 2020 Clausura season, currently in third place with 12 points and is more than ready to start the CCL campaign. La Fiera arguably has the toughest opponent of any Mexican team in the round of 16 as LAFC is a very talented MLS team.
Los Panzas Verdes are coming off a shocking 3-1 loss to Atletico de San Luis in league play, but manager Ignacio Ambriz benched some key players like Luis Montes and Ismael Sosa. Leon is a title-contender in both the Liga MX and CCL with a stacked roster that even has plenty of talent on the bench.
LAFC had a tremendous 2019 MLS season, finishing first in the Western Conference with 72 points. The Southern California based team fell to the Seattle Sounders in the semifinals of the MLS Cup playoffs and is now in search of an elusive CCL title for MLS teams.
The standout player for LAFC is obviously Mexican superstar Carlos Vela, but there are other intriguing players on the team like Diego Rossi, who played for Uruguay in the CONMEBOL Olympic qualifiers. While LAFC has an outstanding offense with players like Vela and Rossi, the backline is very inconsistent and the recent trade of Walker Zimmerman just weakened the defense even more.
Leon vs LAFC Prediction
FutnSoccer predicts a 3-2 win for Leon as this has the potential to be a very exciting CCL match at the Nou Camp.
