Where can I watch it?
Why Bet on Mazatlan
Mazatlán enters this Clausura 2023 tournament with the mission of improving, without a doubt, their performance in the previous tournament, where they finished in 14th place and missed out on the spot in the Liguilla.
There is no doubt that they no longer want to be that little team in Liga MX; from now on, they want to be a contender for the title in the Clausura 2023. For this reason, the board of directors and the coaching staff have opted for reinforcements for the attack in the search for important things.
Mazatlán is the newest franchise in Liga MX, replacing the traditional Monarcas from Morelia and relocating to Sinaloa State. Now they have signed Aké Loba and Ariel Nahuelpán to try to reach the Liguilla for the first time.
Why Bet on Leon
On the other hand, Leon had a very up-and-down opening tournament in 2022 but still managed to finish in tenth place in the general classification table and thus be able to be in the playoffs.
Cruz Azul also eliminated them in the first match with a score of 0-1.
Leon is finally adding players to its ranks to optimize mainly the midfield and defense, the two areas of most significant concern to coach Nicolás Larcamón.
Jesús “Canelo” Angulo, Lucas Romero, Adonis Frías, Brian Rubio, and Iván Moreno are just some of the names that Leon has incorporated to be one of the best teams in the tournament and fight for the title.

Undoubtedly, both teams will take the field with the mission to win at any cost. Therefore, this translates into an exciting and high-voltage match.
