Why Bet on León?
Club León qualified for the quarterfinals of the Liguilla after defeating Santos Laguna in the play-in with an excellent score of 3-2.
In that match, León showed absolute supremacy on the field, as they managed to take a 3-0 lead after 48 minutes. However, in minute 53, Fidel Ambríz was sent off after receiving a red card, and, from that moment on, the team went into free fall. Of course, Santos Laguna took advantage of this to get back into the game.
However, Santos only had enough time to score goals in minutes 72′ and 83′ to end the match with a score of 3-2.
After a terrible and irregular round-robin, they have the chance to surprise the best team. It’s important to know that in the ‘Esmeraldas’ fate relies upon the tournament’s future, as they will participate in the Club World Cup. This means, in case of their qualification to the final, the Liga MX will have to enter in (yet another) pause for them to return from the international compromise.
Why Bet on Club America?
Club América, meanwhile, has been the best team in Liga MX throughout the Apertura 2023. In addition to leading the standings, they always looked stronger and, above all, with much more pace than their rivals.
Thanks to this, the team finished in first place at the table in the regular season and earned the right to be in this Liguilla as the first seed, getting almost three weeks of rest before this match. That tells us that the team has good preparations, and they need to take advantage of the fact that León will be tired after playing a very intense match against Santos Laguna.
However, it wouldn’t be the first time in recent years that the ‘Azulcremas’ enter the postseason in such an ideal context, just to end up bottling the tournament. It has become normal, meaning that the ‘Afición Americanista’ has already grown tired, and another failure could cause great changes.
América tied their last regular season match against Tigres UANL with a score of 0-0.
