Player to watch: Giorgios Giakoumakis
Hands down, Giakoumakis’ signing is one of Anselmi’s wisest accomplishments ever since he got the job. Giakoumakis cost Cruz Azul a massive €9.3m, but with three goals since the start of the season, he is proving his worth and we are sure he will help make our Leon vs Cruz Azul predictions a success as well.
Second player to watch: Angel Sepulveda
Amazing Sepulveda also has three goals to his name. Surely, he will get minutes at Estadio Leon, as coach Anselmi would be a fool not to rely on such a wonderful player.
