Goal Statistics

Goals have been an issue for León of late. It has been 5 Liga MX games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Sunday morning against Cruz Azul.

Cruz Azul's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday morning, not least because León have conceded in each of their last 9 Liga MX games. A PG of 1.6 for N. Larcamón's side suggests that run should continue.
