Two clubs chasing the Clausura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Morelia and Leon. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Morelos in Morelia and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN Deportes.
What They're Saying
Morelia manager Alfredo Tena (via Sexenio): "We have never had doubts, but it's good we played an open game [against Atlas], with balls on the posts and with chances on goal."
Leon manager Juan Antonio Pizzi (via La Aficion): "I think we played a bad game [against Tigres]. We lacked intensity and profoundness. While we had some scoring chances, we should have continued attacking with more energy in all actions."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: The creative prowess of Leon's Carlos Pena will be needed if Leon are to return to the win column on Friday. In 17 appearances last season, the 24-year-old created 27 total chances.
Morelia's Projected Lineup (4-5-1): Rodriguez; Andrade, Garcia, Arguello, Cardozo; Cejas, Vazquez, Valdez, Morales, Monroy; Depetris
Leon's Projected Lineup (4-5-1): Yarbrough; Hernandez, Bottinelli, Ibarra, Magallon; Caicedo, Vazquez, Pena, Cardenas, Hernandez; Boselli
