Club Leon and Atletico San Luis kick off their 2025-26 Mexican Liga MX Apertura campaign when they lock horns at the Estadio León on Sunday. Eduardo Berizzo’s side will head into the season curtain-raiser on a three-game winning streak against the visitors and will be looking to extend this fine run.
Despite failing to win six of their final seven games last season (5L, 1D), Club Leon secured their spot in the Clausura playoffs as they secured a sixth-placed finish in the table.
However, Berizzo’s men’s playoff campaign was short-lived, as they crashed out in the quarter-finals courtesy of a 5-3 aggregate defeat at the hands of Cruz Azul.
Club Leon head into the new season off the back of a decent run of results in pre-season, where they picked up one win and lost one of their two warm-up matches.
Atletico San Luis, on the other hand, failed to secure a place in the Clausura playoffs last season as they finished 15th in the league standings.
Guillermo Abascal’s men lost 11 of their 17 league games while claiming six wins to finish with 18 points, three points adrift of 10th-placed Pumas UNAM in the final playoff spot.
While San Luis will be looking to kick off the new campaign on a high, they face an opposing side who have won their last three meetings, scoring four goals and keeping two clean sheets since a narrow 3-2 loss in November 2023.
