Leon vs Tigres Prediction and Betting Tips | May 3, 2023

Leon host Tigres at the Estadio Leon in the Concacaf Champions League on Wednesday (May 3).

The winner of the tie faces Los Angeles FC in the Concacaf Champions League final. The American team beat their fellow MLS counterparts Philadelphia Union 4-1 in the first semifinal. Leon returned from San Nicolas with a 2-1 setback despite their impressive performance. They opened the scoring early on but couldn’t hold on to their lead.

Interestingly, both Mexican teams met in Liga MX on Monday, with La Fiera claiming the bragging rights, winning 3-0. It was also the hosts’ first win in six outings. Leon will hope to exploit home advantage once more to see off the challenge of Tigres, who sit just below them in the Liga MX standings.

The visitors missed a slew of goal chances in the first leg that could have made their mission in the return fixture easier. The manager said:

“We are going to play a fresh game altogether. Let’s forget about the first leg”.

Tigres’ last success (3-0) at Estadio Leon dates to March 2022.

Unlike Leon, Los Tigres have won the Concacaf Champions League once in 2000. They're hoping to relive that joyous moment after reaching the semis, but overcoming Leon on their turf may not come easy. Top scorer Andre-Pierre Gignac will have to be at his best.
