Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Leon and Veracruz. The first-division clash scheduled for 9 p.m. ET will be held at the Nou Camp in Leon and can be live streamed here free. It can also be streamed via the Deportes Telemundo en Vivo app. Additional TV coverage can be found on Telemundo.

Leon manager Gustavo Matosas had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Radio Formula): "If we get 20 points, plus the six that we already have, we can qualify [for the Liguilla]. I look at the standings and say, 'Eight games. Two victories. Six losses.' It's crazy, but there's no greater threat than a Leon that's reeling."

"I'm going to give it my all until the last drop of sweat, the last drop of blood," he added. "I'm going to fight with everything I have and in December we'll see what we do."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Leon's Mauro Boselli has created just one chance in seven appearances, but enters the weekend with a club-best three goals. Always an aerial threat, the 29-year-old has won 67 percent of his duels.

Leon's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Martinez; Hernandez, Bottinelli, Sousa, Pena; Caicedo, Zamora, Hernandez, Magallon; Boselli, Sabah

Veracruz's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Hernandez; Cortes, Romero, Mascorro, Sanchez; Chiapas, Martinez, Mathias; Villalva, Ochoa, Borja
