Mexican Liga MX returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Cruz Azul and Club Leon square off at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario on Saturday. Nicolas Larcamon’s men are unbeaten at home since the start of 2025 and will be looking to extend this impressive streak.
Cruz Azul turned in a fine show of fighting spirit last Sunday as they overturned a two-goal first-half deficit to salvage a thrilling 3-3 draw against Atlas at the Jalisco Stadium.
Head coach Larcamon will hope his side will take the positives from last weekend's spirited display as they go in search of their first win of the campaign, having played out a goalless draw with Mazatlan in the season opener on July 13.
