Team news & rosters
| Position | Leon roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Blanco, Cota, Vazquez, Aguilar |
| Defenders | Buron, Mosquera, Navarro, Tesillo, Barreiro, R. Gonzalez, O. Rodriguez, P. Hernandez, J. Gonzalez, Villa |
| Midfielders | J. Rodriguez, Montes, E. Hernandez, Mena, Meneses, Diaz, Colombatto, Fernandez, Ambriz, Ramirez, Zamudio, Romero, Morales, Rangel |
| Forwards | Davila, Ormeno, Gigliotti, Leon |
Last month's triumph over Seattle Sounders means that silverware has already graced Ariel Holan and company so far this term, but they could really do with a boost to their league standing.
Emmanuel Gigliotti will likely lead the line again for the hosts, as they look to transfer their trophy success back to the home front.
Predicted Leon starting XI: Cota; Ramirez, Barreiro, Tesillo, O. Rodriguez; J. Rodriguez, Colombatto; Mena, Montes, E. Hernandez; Gigliotti.
| Position | Atletico San Luis roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Barovero, Sanchez, Urtiaga |
| Defenders | Rodriguez, Pinuelas, Coelho, Chavez, J. Lozano, Bilbao, Diaz, E. Garcia, Montero, Ramirez, Ortega, U. Garcia |
| Midfielders | Castro, Mejia, Sanabria, Batallini, Orona, Waller, Guemez, Duque, Mendoza, Rodriguez, Cantu, A. Lozano, Mascorro, Munoz |
| Forwards | Berterame, Bareiro, Vombergar, Hernandez, Gonzalez, Calzadilla, Castillo, Alba, Moragregra |
Marcelo Mendez's visitors travel on the back of a frustrating reverse against Tigres, but before then had been hot to touch across September, bolstering their reclassification ambitions.
Having come off the bench last time out, Adam Bareiro could be handed a start for this trip, as they look to take the legs out from a key rival at the start of October.
Predicted Atletico San Luis starting XI: Barovero; Coelho, Bilbao, Diaz; Chavez, Guemez, Sanabria, Waller; Berterame, Bareiro, Vombergar.
