Club Leon vs Monterrey: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Club Leon vs Monterrey predicted formations

Club Leon host Monterrey at Estadio Leon on Saturday, August 22 (9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 PM PT).

Club Leon go into this one with no fresh fitness concerns flagged, leaning on the same faces who have carried their attack all season — Daniel Arcila, Jordi Cortizo and Diber Cambindo have all found the net already, with Fernando Beltran and Edgar Guerra doing the supporting work further back. Monterrey travel with a similarly settled group: Lucas Ocampos and Diego Rossi lead the visitors’ scoring, and Jesus Corona, Hugo Cuypers and Orbelin Pineda have all chipped in with goals of their own.

Monterrey arrive with the form and the numbers on their side — 9 points from 4 games and a +7 goal difference underline how comfortably they have won this season, even after a stumble at Necaxa last time out on the road. Leon have shown they can score too, netting in both the win over Pachuca and the defeat to Atlas FC, but this looks like a game with goals at both ends, tilted just enough toward the visitors to see them home 1-2.

    Our Signal model has this finishing 1-2 to Monterrey. The visitors’ 9 points from 4 games and +7 goal difference make them deserved favorites on the road, and with Ocampos and Rossi carrying the goal threat, this looks like a game where Leon manage a goal of their own but not enough to stop Monterrey doing what they have done all season — score goals and win games.
