Tijuana can still avoid paying the fine if it wins both games, Mazatlan loses one more game and Juarez loses its remaining two games.

León has lost two in a row and needs to win, remembering that their last three matches will be against Tigres in the Concachampions and Liga MX.

The Xolos of Tijuana aspire to the Playoffs against a Leon team that needs to win the 3 points in order to seek direct Playoffs. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

La Fiera has the advantage in the most recent meetings, winning two games, drawing two and losing just one.

Leon 2-2 Xolos Tijuana, Apertura 2022

Xolos Tijuana 1-1 Leon, Clausura 2022

Leon 2-1 Tijuana, Apertura 2021

Xolos Tijuana 2-0 Leon, Clausura 2021

Leon 2-1 Xolos Tijuana, Apertura 2020

He has been very active in recent games, but very erratic in front of goal, which is why the Ecuadorian Ángel Mena will have to sharpen his aim to help La Fiera finish in the top 4 and avoid the playoffs.

Although it was from the penalty spot, Pedro Canelo found the net again in the last game against Mazatlán and will be looking to continue in the same vein in order to add another 3 points in the final stretch of the Clausura 2023.

30 Rodolfo Cota, 25 Paul Saracho, 22 Adonis Frias, 34 Oscar Villa, 3 Iván Moreno, 12 Joel Campbell, 26 Fidel Ambríz, 11 Elías Hernández, 13 Ángel Mena, 7 Víctor Dávila, 18 Lucas Di Yorio.

2 Antonio Rodríguez, 6 Nicolás Diaz, 3 Ismael Govea, 27 Jair Díaz, 13 Luis Félix, 22 Fernando Valenzuela, 14 Federico Lértora, 19 Eduardo Armenta, 9 Lucas Cavallini, 25 Pedro Canelo, 10 Joaquín Montecinos.

After 13 games without a win in any competition, Leon fell into a slight slump with two straight losses in the Concachampions and Liga MX. It is important to remember that they have a tough schedule ahead in the final stretch with games against Tigres in the Concachampions, so they will have to win this Friday to try to get back into the top 4 of the championship.

The Xolos de Tijuana are keeping their hopes of advancing to the Playoffs alive after their victory against Mazatlán last week, as they came within one point of the qualification zone and if they win, they will be in the top 12, with one game left and facing a direct rival such as Puebla. In addition, with a win and a loss for the Cañoneros, they will move up to 16th place and, with a Juárez loss, they could move out of the last three in the percentage.

The Tijuana vs Leon match will be played at the Caliente Stadium, in Tijuana, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 23:05 pm ET.
