Round four of the Mexican Liga MX comes to an end on Sunday when Club Leon and Club Necaxa lock horns at the Estadio Leon. Eduardo Fentanes’ men have failed to win their last six away games against Los Panzas Verdes and will be looking to end this poor run.
Club Leon were denied their first win of the new Apertura campaign as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Puebla last Wednesday.
Before that, Jorge Bava’s side suffered a 4-1 loss against Pumas UNAM in the league opener on July 7, one week before playing out a goalless draw with Pachuca.
Club Leon have failed to win all but one of their last seven Liga MX games, losing three and claiming three draws since early April.
