Liga MX: Leon vs. Guadalajara Picks, Odds, and Preview (Jul 19)

Guadalajara will be among the leading chances for Liga MX success this season, and they will be aiming to kick off their campaign with an impressive showing against Leon.

The Mexican giants will play their opening two matches to start the season, before their attention swiftly turns to the Leagues Cup, which kicks off at the start of August.

Leon will be hoping to make a more favorable impression than they did on the opening day of the season this weekend. They were disappointing at home against San Luis, eventually losing 1-0.

Leon vs. Guadalajara Picks

A close encounter is expected in Liga MX this weekend, and cases can be made for both teams.

However, Leon’s performance last weekend was far below the level that we have come to expect, and we fully expect them to bounce back to winning ways in their second home match of the 2025 season.
