Club Leon and the Portland Timbers will meet for the first time on Sunday in the opening match for both sides at the 2024 Leagues Cup from Providence Park.
Club Leon:
The 2024 Liga MX Apertura season has brought early challenges for Club Leon, who are yet to find their winning stride. After securing their last competitive victory against Monterrey in April, Jorge Bava's men have faltered, failing to notch a win in their first four domestic outings. This disappointing start contrasts sharply with their past successes, including their triumph in the 2021 tournament. However, with significant changes to their squad since then, consistency has proven elusive for the former champions.
Portland Timbers:
Meanwhile, the Portland Timbers have showcased a thrilling brand of football throughout the 2024 MLS campaign, marked by high-scoring encounters. Despite their offensive prowess, which has seen them score 50 goals in 25 domestic fixtures, securing victories has not always followed suit. Phil Neville's side has often dazzled at Providence Park, securing four consecutive wins with an impressive 12-3 aggregate scoreline. However, their Leagues Cup endeavors have been less fruitful, with recent home defeats underscoring their struggle against Mexican opposition, against whom they remain winless in four meetings across all competitions.
