Club America will play host to Leon in a Liga MX encounter at Aztec Stadium on Saturday.
Both teams come into the tie on the back of mixed results of late, with Leon a point behind America on the league standings.
However, following a last-16 exit at the 2023 Leagues Cup, the Eagles have a game in hand. Andre Jardine's men have since played a two-goal draw against Atlas and defeated Necaxa 3-2 in midweek.
Leon lasted until the last 32 stage at the Leagues Cup and returned to domestic action with a 2-1 win over Mazatlan, but suffered a 3-0 loss against Atletico San Luis in their last outing.
