Player to watch: Salomon Rondon
Rondon had a great Copa America run with Venezuela, but his country got kicked out of the tournament by a superior Canadian team. However, Venezuela’s goalscorer-in-chief did score on three occasions throughout the campaign. We believe his presence on the pitch on the 14th of July is a huge boost to our Leon vs Pachuca predictions.
Second player to watch: Alfonso Blanco
Blanco’s experience is vital for the end result here. Club Leon sent club legend Rodolfo Cota on a season-long loan at Estadio Azteca, so it will be interesting to see if Blanco can fill in the gap.
