Queretaro aims to sustain their positive momentum when they host Leon at Estadio La Corregidora. Mauro Gerk's side enters this Liga MX Apertura clash on the back of two consecutive victories, including a 1-0 win at Tijuana last weekend, which has lifted them to sixth place with 13 points.
The Gallo Blanco has shown clear improvement in recent outings. After a patchy start, they secured a convincing win at Atlas (3-1) and then repeated the feat in the north. This run has allowed Queretaro to climb the standings and sit six points behind leaders Toluca. Their next opponent, Leon, sits seventh and arrives after a 1-1 draw with Atlante in their last league match.
Attacking threat
Offensive efficiency will be key. Top scorer Santiago Homenchenko, with four goals in seven appearances, was key in the last win, providing the assist for Mateo Coronel. The Argentine midfielder scored in the 30th minute to secure the points at Tijuana. The starting lineup that achieved that result, with Guillermo Allison in goal and a back four of Brian Duarte and Diego Reyes, will likely form the foundation for Gerk's plans.
Recent history favors the hosts, who beat Leon 2-0 in their last meeting in February. Another victory would allow Queretaro to solidify their place in the qualification spots and close the gap on the top.
