Alebrijes Oaxaca
After missing play-offs last season, Alebrijes Oaxaca started this season with a home win 2-0 against Cancun, followed by a 1-1 draw against Tampico Madero, runner-up last season. As they ended last season with three matches without loss, their current unbeaten streak extends to five matches.

Alebrijes Oaxaca was one of the top five defences last season, in contrast their attack was one of the worst three, but has scored in the most recent four matches, meanwhile their defense has not allowed more than one goal against.

Leones Negros
A run of seven wins in 10 matches saw the team move from the bottom of the standings to the sixth position, therefore taking place in the play-offs but was eliminated by Celaya. Great work by coach Alfonso Sosa.

Started this season with a 3-1 home win against Pumas Tabasco, with striker Jorlian Sanchez scoring twice. It is yet to see if they can reflect this on the road.

Match
In the previous three matches between them at Estadio Tecnologico de Oaxaca, two wins for Alebrijes Oaxaca and one draw, all of them with less than 2. 5 goals. A match dominated by the home side with a few goals scored, this match should continue in that trend. Definitively a close encounter.

Prediction
An interesting match for both teams to test their potential this season. Being at home Alebrijes Oaxaca has a slight advantage due to their positive form, solid defending and good precedent against this rival, meanwhile Leones Negros first road match this season, currently two consecutive road losses from last season.
