Why Bet on León?
León reaches the playoffs after finishing in sixth place in the general classification table with 30 points, resulting from eight wins, six draws, and three defeats. Argentine Nicolás Larcamón has coached León since the beginning of the tournament. They have excelled in the local tournament and the Concachampions, where they are in the semifinals.
This team has stood out for its defensive solidity, to the extent of conceding the fewest goals in the regular season with 13. In addition, they had a truly spectacular second half of the tournament, and the only loss they suffered was a 2-0 against Chivas.
Similarly, León ended the season with a 3-0 victory in the feline duel against Tigres, so they are confident going into this match.
Why Bet on San Luis?
San Luis finished the regular season with 19 points after five wins, four draws, and eight defeats, thanks to which the team managed to secure the last playoff spot.
Due to its rough start to the tournament, the Potosi club has benefited from the fair format of Liga MX, as it lost many consecutive matches after match day five of the Clausura tournament. However, they did manage to pick up important points at the end of the regular season to finish 12th in the table.
San Luis is, together with Querétaro, the team that scored the fewest goals in the tournament’s first phase with 16. In addition, their last game played was a 0-0 draw against Atlas.
Final Betting Analysis: León vs. San Luis
There is no doubt that León has everything in their hands to win this game. In addition, we will be looking at the best defense in the tournament (León) against the worst offense (San Luis). So, it is very likely that the trend will continue in this playoff.
At MyBookie.ag, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors León at -181, while San Luis starts at +470.
León defeated San Luis 2-0 on matchday 10 of this tournament and will hope to apply the same dose.
A victory for La Fiera seems imminent, so our prediction is for a 3-1 final score.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline: León. For example, if you put $100 on Leon at -181, you’ll see a $55.25 win with a total payout of $155.25.
