León managed to secure sixth place in the league table, collecting 30 points from 17 matches, but their recent form is a cause for concern. The team has picked up just one win in their last five rounds, suffering three defeats, which clearly signals a dip in performance.

Cruz Azul, on the other hand, are in excellent shape, finishing third in the standings with 33 points. The team comes into this match on a hot streak, unbeaten in their last 16 games. Over their last five Liga MX fixtures, "La Máquina" have picked up three wins and two draws.
In addition, Cruz Azul have reached the final of the CONCACAF Champions League. On the way, they knocked out América in the quarterfinals (0-0 away and 2-1 at home) and Tigres in the semifinals (1-1 away and 1-0 in the home leg). In nine away league matches, Cruz Azul have notched four victories and suffered just two defeats.
