On Monday Aug 29th, in week 11, León hosts Atlas in a meeting of these two Liga MX teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 15th placed León, recorded a 0-1 loss against Pachuca. Luna Lopez struck first for Pachuca in the 86th minute on a feed from Javier López, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed León couldn’t manage to score, and Pachuca took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while atlas is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Puebla. Martín Barragán scored the first goal for Puebla in the 11th minute, but Quinones Quinones got the equalizer for Atlas in the 1st minute of the first half’s stoppage time squeezing out at least the one point for Atlas. Atlas looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Atlas won the head to head battle with 2 wins and 1 draw.
Julian Andres Quinones Quinones has been the most prolific scorer on Atlas in his last five matches with 3 goals. Mena Delgado and Osvaldo Rodriguez del Portal are the top scorers for León in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
