by Edgar Jibran | in Liga MX Picks
The upcoming Clausura 2026 season is expected to bring many outliers in Liga MX, and one of the teams that could be included in that category is Leon. Nevertheless, this team has experienced many changes during the last years, and their administrative issues even cost them losing their World Club Cup spot in summer 2025. Leaving all that behind, they will face Cruz Azul on the first matchday of the regular season, a game in which the bookies’ odds haven’t made them favorites to win.
Despite this, Ignacio Ambriz is expected to demonstrate his managing skills to radically turn this team into a contender for the championship this season, so players like Juan Pablo Dominguez will be key to increasing their dangerous opportunities’ creation. However, losing James Rodriguez after his contract expired will have a direct impact on their offense, as well as on their marketing incomes.
As for Cruz Azul, they were clearly one of the most competitive teams in the last regular season, but their lack of offensive consistency caused them to get eliminated in the semifinals. With this in mind, the season has started with much bad news for the fans after Lorenzo Faraveli and Ignacio Rivero’s departures, and depending on Jose Paradela and Agustin Palavecino doesn’t appear to be the right way for them to compete for the championship.

Our Club Leon vs CF Cruz Azul Prediction
That said, this game isn’t really expected to follow the trend that these teams built during their most recent confrontations in Leon, and after Angel Sepulveda’s departure to Guadalajara, Cruz Azul is expected to lose offensive power.
In conclusion, facing Cruz Azul will be a fantastic opportunity for Leon to secure their first home victory of the season by taking advantage of the perpetual inconsistencies that make Cruz Azul struggle each season. Therefore, the pick for Club Leon – CF Cruz Azul is: Next Goal - Leon!
