Club León is eager to win its third game in the tournament, after a rocky start. It takes the home field with 6 points, the result of 2 wins, the first in Game 3 against Monarcas Morelia (4-0) and the second against Pumas de la UNAM (2-1). The team lost its last game, against Santos Laguna, 2-0.
Veracruz comes into the match after tying Atlas de Guadalajara at home in Game 7. In a dismal sixteenth place in

THE LEAGUE in terms of percentages.
