What They're Saying
Leon striker Mauro Boselli on the importance of winning (via Esto): "It's important that I score goal and even more so that my team wins. (Boselli scored a brace in Leon's 4-3 victory over Morelia last Saturday). Both things happened against Morelia and that makes me happy."
Chivas Guadalajara president Nestor de la Torre on what the team needs to do following a 3-1 loss to Toluca on Sunday (via Esto): "We have to take advantage of these games. We are focused on what we need to do on the pitch. We have to be consistent. We are always thinking and focused on what we can do to improve."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Marco Fabian made his 2015 Apertura debut last Sunday. The 26-year-old made 18 appearances for Chivas last season, finishing with seven goals and four assists. That level of form is paramount if Chivas are to return to the playoff picture.
Leon's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Martinez; Velarde, Torres, Moran, Ibarra; Montes, Vazquez, Pena; Burbano, Hernandez, Boselli
Chivas Guadalajara's Projected Lineup (4-1-3-2): Rodriguez; Lopez, Salcedo, Marin, Ponce; Castro; Fabian, Ortiz, Brizuela; Fierro, Bravo
