Leon will wear a special jersey for this game and their sponsor's theme was wrestling, as was the case with Atlas last Wednesday.

The Tuzos del Pachuca have been one of the pleasant revelations in the championship with two victories over San Luis and Chivas, and will be looking to keep the momentum going to remain at the top of an early Clausura 2022 in Liga MX.

León has not had a bad start to matches, but has not had the ability to hold on to leads and has drawn 1-1 against both Xolos de Tijuana and Rojinegros del Atlas, just last Wednesday.

One of the clashes of the siblings in Liga MX will take place this Saturday when La Fiera del León seeks its first victory of the championship against the in-form Tuzos del Pachuca. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

After shining with Atletico de San Luis and having a very complicated previous tournament where he was unable to establish himself with Paulo Pezzolano, this season Nicolas Ibañez is expected to show a better level and, for now, he has already scored two goals in the first match against his former team.

The tournaments go by and the Ecuadorian Ángel Mena continues to be the vital piece of the team's offense, which, in fact, has already made its debut in the current championship by scoring last Wednesday against Rojinegros del Atlas.

5 Óscar Ustari, 4 Miguel Ángel Tapias Dávila, 22 Gustavo Cabral, 195 Daniel Aceves, 3 Kevin Álvarez, 24 Luis Chávez, 28 Érick Sánchez, 35 Bryan González, 30 Romario Ibarra, 7 Nicolás Ibáñez, 6 Víctor Guzmán.

30 Rodolfo Cota, 6 William Tesillo, 21 Jaine Barreiro, 24 Osvaldo Rodríguez, 28 José David Ramírez, 7 Víctor Dávila, 8 José Rodríguez, 10 Luis Montes, 14 Santiago Ormeño, 9 Federico Martínez, 13 Ángel Mena.

It should be noted that the Bella Airosa's coach, Almada, will not be present in the next two games after being sent off against Chivas after shouting "Thief" at the referee; the board filed an appeal, which did not proceed and was rejected.

Perhaps the only thing that the Pachuca Tuzos were missing was a piece in the technical direction and with Guillermo Almada it seems that they have achieved it, at least in the first two dates with victories over San Luis and Chivas; now they will look to demonstrate that they are serious about this season and give a blow of authority in their visit to Guanajuato.

León will be looking to take advantage of their double home advantage in a row as, after hosting Atlas last Wednesday, they will be looking for revenge against the Tuzos, their brother team, who gave them a good shake last season in what was Ariel Holan's debut.

The Leon vs Pachuca match will be played at the BBVA Stadium, in Monterrey, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 20:06 pm ET.
