Tijuana target perfect start as Leon face early crisis
Club Tijuana look to cement their title-race credentials with a second straight win, while Leon must find an immediate response to avoid sinking further into the relegation zone.
Club Tijuana enter matchday two sitting 3rd in the table and firmly in the title race after a dramatic 3-1 opening victory over Tigres UANL. Sebastian Abreu’s men showed significant resilience in that fixture, striking twice in stoppage time to secure the points. Los Xolos are currently on a six-match unbeaten run in Liga MX dating back to last season and have found their scoring touch at the Estadio Caliente.
In contrast, Leon sit 13th and are already feeling the pressure of the relegation zone after a 3-2 home defeat to Atlas. This marks the fourth consecutive season that 'Los Esmeraldas' have lost their Apertura opener. Manager Javier Gandolfi now faces a tactical headache as he attempts to fix a backline that looked unsettled throughout their first match back.
