Within the quarterfinals of the FIFA Club World Championship, there will be a match between Leon and Urawa. The encounter will take place in Jeddah on Friday, December 15th. The game is scheduled to start at 15:30 Central European Time.
Leon
The Mexican club Leon emerged as the winner of the CONCACAF Champions League last summer, where the best teams from North and Central America compete. In the final of that tournament, the team secured a victory over Los Angeles, representing the MLS, earning the right to play in the Club World Championship. It's worth noting that Leon didn't perform well in the national championship. In the Mexican Apertura, the team secured only the eighth position and ceased the fight for the championship in the quarterfinals of the playoffs after two losses against America.
Urawa
The Japanese team emerged as the strongest club in Asia last season, winning the AFC Champions League. However, in this edition of the tournament, Urawa didn't show successful results and exited after the group stage. In the Japanese J-League, the team didn't achieve significant success, finishing only fourth. Urawa trailed behind the bronze medalist Hiroshima by just one point and failed to qualify for international competitions in the following season.
Interesting facts about the match and history of personal encounters
- Leon has won only two out of their last nine matches.
- Similar is the case for the Japanese side, with Urawa losing most of their recent games.
- These two teams have never faced each other before.
Prediction
The Mexicans might be slight favorites in this match; however, I believe there will be few goals scored. My bet is for a total under 2.5 goals.
