León vs Mazatlán: Crucial Match for León’s Play-in Hopes in Liga MX Apertura 2024

The Club León is set to face Mazatlán FC in a pivotal match for their play-in hopes in the Liga MX Apertura 2024. The game, scheduled for November 5, 2024, at 7:00 PM Central Mexico Time, will be held at the Estadio Nou Camp in León, Guanajuato.

León, currently in 11th place with 17 points, is still in contention for a play-in spot. A victory against Mazatlán, combined with a loss by their direct competitor Atlas against Cruz Azul, could propel León into the coveted 10th position. The team has been on a strong run, having gone six games without a loss, and they are favored to win this match given their home record against Mazatlán, with three wins and one draw in previous encounters.

Mazatlán, on the other hand, has been eliminated from the competition and is looking to close the season with dignity. They suffered a significant 5-0 defeat at home against América in their last match, which marked the second-largest margin of defeat in their history. With only 13 points and a poor away record, Mazatlán’s chances of winning are slim.

The match will be broadcast live on Fox Sports and streamed via Fox Sports Premium and VIX+. The referee for the game will be Fernando Hernández Gómez, who has a notable history with Club León.

The statistical and recent form advantages are clearly with León, who are expected to secure the three points needed to keep their play-in aspirations alive. The odds favor León, with a win probability significantly higher than that of Mazatlán.
