Club America vs. Club Leon Betting Predictions

Club America Preview

Over the weekend Andre Jardine’s men were surprised by what transpired as the Aguilas suffered their first loss of the year, dropping their match at home versus Necaxa. The 3-2 mishap was Club America’s first defeat since November 9th during the 2024 Apertura season.

Undeterred by Necaxa’s surprise triumph, Alvaro Fidalgo was the man of the match with his excellent showing on the pitch. The midfielder scored both tallies for his side, bringing his goal total to three this season. The 27-year-old joined Club America in 2021, checking in on 183 occasions, securing 15 goals.

La Aguilas leading goal-getter in this current Clausura season, failed to get on the score sheet in his second consecutive outing. Victor Davila has hit the back of the net on four occasions so far off 19 total shots he’s taken. This is the Chilean's second season in Mexican top-flight soccer, as he only hit home one goal in the Apertura. His familiarity with the league is growing and could be a factor on Wednesday.

Club Leon Preview

Eduardo Berizzo has gotten the absolute best out of his lads so far as they currently occupy the top spot in the Liga MX standings. Los Panzas Verdes latest achievement saw them earn a 2-1 road win versus San Luis. 

Scoring the winning goal for Club Leon on Sunday was the dependable center-back, Paul Bellon. Breaching the keeper in the 87th minute, the 27-year-old managed to catalogue his fifth career goal in the domestic competition. Through 434 minutes seen in the Clausura, Bellon has won just over 50 percent of his ground duels, placing him in the middle of the pact of that stat category. 

James Rodriguez set up the two goals in Sunday's victory over San Luis. The 33-year-old has looked comfortable settling into his new surroundings in his first stint in Liga MX. The Colombian superstar has managed to stockpile five goal contributions in his six appearances this season, look for him to play a central role once again upfront.

Club America vs. Club Leon - My Pick

• Club America vs. Club Leon pick: Club America three-way moneyline (-167) at BetMGM

There are a few variables that come with a midweek clash; they involve heavily rotated squads due to the quick turnaround of high-intensity play. That said we feel Club America has more than it takes to rebound after their first upset of the season. Club Leon is off to a very impressive start in the Clausura, but we feel this could be the fixture where they suffer their first loss. Despite sitting first overall, Club Leon to no fault of their own, haven’t played against any superior opponents yet, this will be their first big test facing one of the giants in Mexican soccer. Our feeling is the visitors will be outclassed on Wednesday with the Aguilas regaining their spot at the top of the table.
