Leon will take on Cruz Azul in the Liga MX at the Nou Camp Stadium on Wednesday. Cruz Azul are off to a brilliant start in the Clausura campaign and they are second in the standings, two points behind league leaders Pachuca. Leon are 11th and desperate for points after seven rounds.
Cruz Azul have won their last five matches in the league and have kept back-to-back clean sheets. They will be the strong favourites to grab three points in the mid-week fixture, especially with the hosts struggling to pick up points.
Leon have only managed two wins in seven games and their second victory came in their most recent outing against Atlas away from home. They will be hoping to draw confidence from that performance to challenge the high-flying visitors. Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
