Leones del Norte vs Independiente Juniors tips and predictions

Patience the likely key for Independiente Juniors

Leones del Norte are currently in ninth place as they prepare to host first place Independiente Juniors.

This is a match where all results are possible but the pick is for Independiente Juniors to get a result.

If the hosts are expecting to emerge with the win they will have to put some of their recent results behind them. Leones del Norte have had a shocking time of late. They have lost their last 3 matches. Those losses have been summarised by a lack of goals. They've slotted just 1 goal in their latest 3 games and if they haven't made some changes then it isn't going to be good enough for this test.

However you cut it, it should be a good game and the evidence laid out suggests the away win is the best pick. Independiente Juniors have won 3 of their last 4 matches. Most of their wins have been helped by their strength in the final third. They've scored three or more goals in 3 of their last 6 games which is an aspect of their game that they will want to build on here.

It's not easy to be sure about what's lying ahead. The match could unfold into a battle of attrition with the two sides ultimately cancelling each other out. It might not be a popular opinion but the No BTTS bet seems sensible.
