This is Jornada 1 of a brand-new Apertura, so there is no live table to lean on yet. The form and standings below are last season&#8217;s Clausura 2026, and we treat them as a guide rather than gospel. Atlas finished sixth and reached the Liguilla; Le\u00f3n came 10th and watched the knockouts from home.<\/p>\n\n<p>bet365 makes Le\u00f3n the home favorite at -109, with the draw out at +240 and Atlas the outsiders at +275. That is a slim lean rather than a strong call, and it leans on home advantage more than any settled early-season pattern. With no current-season numbers to price yet, our reads below are drawn straight from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>\n.sq-bpg{--lime:#a8e039;--glow:#c8f24c;--tx:#f4f8f1;--mut:rgba(244,248,241,.62);--line:rgba(255,255,255,.10);--gold:#F7B500;--b365:#ffdd00;position:relative;overflow:hidden;isolation:isolate;font-family:'Bricolage
