Two clubs in opposite halves of the Liga MX table will do battle today in a league match between Club Tijuana and Leon. The first-division clash scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Caliente Stadium in Tijuana and can be live streamed here free.
For more than 20 matches, Tijuana faced the pressures of not being able to capture a victory outside of the Caliente Stadium. That, however, came to an end after the club captured a 2-1 victory over Atlante last Sunday. Manager Cesar Farias believes his men can now play a more relaxed style of football (h/t to Medio Tiempo). "With the victory over Atlante, we took the pressures of not winning over 20 road matches off our back," Farias said.
"And we did it before entering the possibility of playing in the Liguilla," he added.
"With this [win], we took the opportunity to find ourselves."
Tijuana won't be faced with any road pressures this evening, but will the victory over Atlante be momentous enough to carry the club to victory past Leon? Tell us @SportsWN
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: There's never a dull moment when it comes to Leon's Rafael Marquez. The club captain was sent off after kicking an opponent in the back amid an aerial battle in the Copa Libertadores. For his club's sake, look for Marquez to attempt to stay on the pitch tonight and continue his stalwart central defending.
Club Tijuana's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Saucedo; Castillo, Gandolfi, Pellerano, Núñez; Ruíz, Benedetto, Güemez, Arce; Martínez, Ayoví
Leon's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Martínez; Vázquez, Márquez, González, Magallón; Cárdenas, Montes, Peña, Loboa; Maz, Sabah
