Wolves of BUAP look to Take a Step Towards Salvation against Leon

With the goal of adding all three points in order to take a firm step towards salvation, the Wolves of BUAP face a fierce duel this Saturday starting at 19:06 hours, against the Leon Green Bellies in the continuation of Matchday 12 of the Clausura 2018 in Liga MX, which will take place at the Nou Camp stadium, home of the Lions.

The team led by Rafael Puente del Río comes out of their den after falling last week at the hands of the Chivas Rayadas del Guadalajara by 1-0, who with a goal in the early minutes of the match, courtesy of the youth player, José Juan Macías, managed to overcome the werewolves who suffered from the refereeing of the center referee, Diego Montaño.

Meanwhile, the Beast returns wounded to their field after losing 2-0 in their visit to the Águilas del América, who took advantage of the emerald mistakes to deliver them a harsh blow, which they will now seek revenge from in a match that reenacts the final of the Ascenso League in its Clausura 2012 edition.

As First Division teams, this will be the first occasion that both teams face each other on lion territory, where the feline team has consolidated themselves as the home team, since they have not lost in their last three matches, facing an opponent who has suffered two setbacks in a row and has not been able to earn a single point as a visitor.

The previous encounter between these teams dates back to last Saturday, September 30, 2017, when on the pitch of the Universitario BUAP, the Green Bellies came out on top by defeating the werewolves 3-0, who now seek to avenge the affront that will allow them to breathe easier in the relegation zone.

For this match, Lobos will be able to count on Peruvian midfielder, Pedro Aquino, who despite receiving a red card in the previous clash against Chivas, had his punishment overturned by the Disciplinary Committee, unlike the right-back, Luis Advíncula, who will miss this match due to accumulation of yellow cards.
