Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Leon and Chivas Guadalajara. The first-division clash scheduled for 9 p.m. ET will be held at the Nou Camp in Leon. It can be live streamed here free and via the Telemundo Deportes mobile app. Additional TV coverage can be found on Telemundo.
Chivas Guadalajara manager Jose Manuel de la Torre had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Medio Tiempo): "Since the first day I arrived, it has been known: We need points. But they will be obtained with order, being a team that fights for every ball. I'm talking about effort. It's what we need and we need to raise the level of every player, so that we can get the results we need."
"The emotions of returning to work are good," he added. "It's a lot and with Chivas, it's a very special feeling. I always see this club as a very viable project."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Leon's Carlos Pena has three goals in 12 appearances and has created a club-best 20 chances this season. The 24-year-old will look to terrorize a susceptible Chivas back line this evening.
Leon's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Martinez; Hernandez, Bottinelli, Magallón, Ibarra; Cardena, Sousa, Vazquez, Pena; Hernandez, Boselli
Chivas Guadalajara's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Rodriguez; Vidrio, Pereira, Rodriguez, marin; Napoles, Arce, Castro, Fierro; Bravo, Reyna
