The two best teams of the competition will lock horns tonight and on Sunday to determine the winner of the competition.

The regular season is over, and the big game in the Guard1anes 2020 final has been scheduled to be played between Pumas and León, the two most consistent teams in the competition. Now, both sides will try to add silverware to their trophy cabinets in what has turned out to be an atypical but exciting tournament.

Pumas, who ended the tournament in second place, will get to this game in high spirits after coming back from a 4-0 deficit against Cruz Azul in the semi-finals, which is already being categorized as the most impressive comeback in Liga MX history. Most of the team's chances of success will rely on what happens at Estadio Olímpico on Thursday, and Andrés Lillini's men will try to make their home-field advantage count in the first leg.

On the other side of the pitch will be the league-leading León, a team that came very close to establishing a new points record in the competition. León won more games than any other Mexican team (12), and their record at home was practically flawless, which means that Pumas will have to take advantage of the weaknesses shown by Ignacio Ambriz's men when playing away from home.

This game will also give Pumas a chance to earn some payback, as their only defeat during the regular season came at the hands of León. Their regular-season fixture ended in a two-nil win for Los Esmeraldas, which will make the game even more interesting.

Pumas UNAM vs León - Head-to-head

This will be the first title match between these teams.
These teams have played two playoff ties before. The most recent one was won by León in 1992, while the other one saw Pumas prevail in 1985.
León get to this game on a five-match streak without a loss against Pumas (four wins, one draw).
Pumas have not beaten León since September 1, 2018. That game ended in a 2-1 win for Pumas at León's stadium.
Pumas have not claimed a home win against León in over three years. Their last home win against Los Esmeraldas took place in October 2017, in a game that ended in a two-nil win for Pumas.
León's boss Ignacio Ambriz has played 21 games against Pumas. His record shows ten wins, seven draws, and four losses.
