Before you lock in your Guadalajara vs. Leon picks or Mexican Liga MX predictions, you must see what soccer bettor Jon "Buckets" Eimer has to say.

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more.

Eimer knows Leon are confident after beating LAFC in the Concacaf Champions League. They opened with a 2-1 victory and closed out the reigning MLS champs with a 1-0 win in the second leg on June 4. Victor Davila, who scored nine goals in 2022-23, earned the Golden Ball in the CCL. New addition Federico Vinas, who started three of 25 appearances but had three goals for America last season, was named Best Young Player.

The expert also has taken into account that Chivas were unbeaten in the two meetings last season. They fought to a 0-0 draw at home then took over in the second half of the Clausura victory at Leon. Victor Guzman led the team with seven goals, but Alexis Vega (six) is out with a knee sprain. Miguel Jimenez was third in Liga MX in saves in 2022-23 (111) and posted his 12th clean sheet of the campaign in the most recent meeting.
