Ah, behold the clashing lions and saints of the pitch, Club León and Atlético de San Luis - a top-notch spectacle that makes mere bread and circuses look like, well, just bread and circuses. Historically the León's roar has been a tad louder, having managed to outstrip their holy counterparts in their previous encounters more often than not. But does past performance guarantee future success? Well, if I'd bought bitcoin in 2010 I'd be writing this from my private islands, not from the backrow bleachers of a football stadium. So let's delve a little deeper, shall we?
Last season, León showed quite the predatory instincts, munching through the competition with 9 wins, 3 draws, and only 5 losses. Meanwhile, San Luis appeared to have misplaced their halo somewhere around match 6, since they ended the season with only 6 wins and a whopping great 11 losses.
Moving on to recent results, San Luis managed to win 3 out of their last 5 matches, which isn't too shabby, even for a club that loses halos. However, Club León emerged victorious from only 1 of their last 5 matches. Are they resting on their laurels, I wonder? If they are, they'd better make sure those laurels are made of something comfortable.
If we look at the spreadsheets (and let's face it, who doesn't love a good spreadsheet on a Friday night), it would appear that León is favored by a point. But with their recent form, who's to say if that's worth the digital ink it’s printed on?
In conclusion, I have carefully considered all available data (and consulted my 8-ball once or twice), and I hereby predict the winner of this epic encounter will be:
