Nicolas Ibanez and Gabriel Fernandez Leites lead the home attack with 5 goals apiece, with Agustin Palavecino Lamela \u2014 who has created 19 chances from midfield \u2014 expected to orchestrate behind them. Club Leon travel with Jose Alfonso Alvarado Perez (5 goals) and Diber Cambindo Abonia (4) spearheading their front line, with Daniel Arcila Rojas, a defensive midfielder who leads the side with 20 chances created, dictating tempo from deep.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz Azul sit on 26 points from 14 games, with 8 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses underpinning a +9 goal difference. They warmed up for this one with back-to-back away wins at Pachuca and Queretaro FC, continuing the form that followed two draws earlier in October. Club Leon, by contrast, have 22 points from the same number of matches and a +3 goal difference, with a 3-5 home defeat to Club America their only really difficult day recently. Expect Cruz Azul&#8217;s edge to tell at Estadio Cuauhtemoc, with goals at both ends before the hosts see it through for a 2-1 win.<\/p>\n<p>US viewers can watch Cruz Azul vs Club Leon on ViX, TUDN or Fox.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>\n.sq-bpg{--sig:#a8e039;--acc:#a8e039;--acc-ink:#0d2a08;--ink:#eaf5e6;--dim:#a7cbb8;--line:rgba(255,255,255,.10);\n
