Necaxa eye European spots as Leon battle drop
Eighth-placed Necaxa look to cement their early-season push for European places against a Leon side sitting just two points above the relegation zone.
Necaxa enter this fixture 8th in the table with 6 points, knowing a win could propel them into the European places with 31 games still to play. Despite a 3-1 setback at Toluca on August 2, the hosts have been formidable at Estadio Victoria, recently securing back-to-back 2-1 wins over Monterrey and Atlante FC.
Leon sit 14th with just 3 points and are still firmly in a survival battle, hovering only two points above the drop. While they secured a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Pachuca in their last outing, their away form remains a concern following a 1-0 loss at Tijuana and a 3-2 home defeat to Atlas earlier in the campaign.
