Leon vs Seattle: the Mexicans are On the Slump and the Americans not to Score

The return match of the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals will be held in Mexico, where the local team will face the American Seattle Sounders. The first match between the opponents took place on March 9 and gave Seattle a resounding 3:0 victory, which moves the Americans into the semifinals. A two-goal defeat on Friday will be enough for the Sounders to get what they want.

Clausura, the Mexican championship 2nd part, is in full swing. After 10 rounds, Leon is in the seventh position with 15 points, 7 points behind the leading Pachuca. Leon's aim for the tournament is to finish in the top-4 and secure a spot in the playoff. The hosts are three points away from Atlas. In their last five games, Leon has two wins, two losses, and one draw. The home team fell heavily to Tigres 0:3 in their arena. Leon's match in the 1/8 finals of the CONCACAF CL ended a 1:0 win over Guastatoya. Leon rarely fails at home, but two consecutive 0:3 defeats suggest that Leon is not at its best.

While Leon was losing, the Seattle Sounders have been exceptionally victorious. After defeating the Mexicans, the team beat the Los Angeles Galaxy 3:2 at home. The MLS championship has just started, the clubs played only three rounds, and Seattle Sounders currently occupies 11th position with three points and a four behind Los Angeles FC. The away game in the last 16 of the CONCACAF Champions League against Motagua ended 0:0. There is a feeling that the Americans will also score a little on Friday, as they did in Honduras.

Leon often fails at home, and Seattle does not need a win in Mexico. The Sounders just need not lose to advance to the CONCACAF tournament semifinals. We believe the Americans will not force the events, will play safely in defense, as it was in the away match against Motagua. Leon is unlikely to lose another home game, and we doubt that the upcoming meeting will be productive.
