**Querétaro hosts León in a clash between two sides riding hot streaks — but the visitors' pedigree in this matchup is hard to ignore.** Both teams arrive 3W-1D-1L over their last five, yet León's historical dominance (16 wins in 28 head-to-heads) casts a long shadow over La Corregidora. 🔥

Querétaro's recent form at home is sharp, knocking off Atlas 3-1 on the road and handling Tijuana 1-0 away, but that loss to Toluca hints at defensive wobbles. León bounced back from a 3-1 drubbing at Pumas with a clean sheet win over San Luis, though they'll be without **L. Valadez** due to a foot injury.

Key storylines:

- **Querétaro's frontline** (A. Ávila, E. Giménez, J. Unjanque) aims to exploit León's missing defensive piece and keep the home crowd loud
- **León's resilience** after the Pumas loss shows they know how to reset quickly — **D. Cambindo** up top will be their outlet
- Midfield battle between Querétaro's **S. Homenchenko** & **C. A. García** and León's **S. Vegas** & **J. Cortizo** could decide tempo

Expected lineups:

- **Querétaro FC**: G. Allison, D. Parra, L. Abascia, D. Reyes, B. Duarte, S. Homenchenko, C. A. García, M. Coronel, E. Giménez, J. Unjanque, A. Ávila
- **Club León**: O. García, S. Reyes, J. Guevara, J. Romaña, I. Moreno, S. Vegas, J. Cortizo, J. Rodríguez, R. Echeverría, D. Arcila, D. Cambindo

Prediction:

**León 2–1 Querétaro.** The visitors' track record in this fixture gives them a slight edge despite a missing defender.
