UANL Tigres vs Santos Laguna: Match preview
Tigres are fighting for the championship this season. The team is in fourth place in the standings, having accumulated 22 points in 11 rounds. They are unbeaten in four matches in a row (three wins and a draw), although they have lost twice in the last five Liga MX matches. They are four points behind the league leader, with a game in hand, which leaves them a chance to close the gap.
Santos Laguna is one of the underdogs of the season. The team is in 17th place with seven points after 11 rounds. To break into the playoffs, they need to make up an eight-point deficit. In the last five matches, they have won twice, lost twice, and drawn once – the results are unstable, and the fight for the top 10 will be extremely challenging.
Probable lineups
- UANL Tigres: Guzman, Garza, Sanchez, Angulo, Aquino, Joaquin, Brunetta, Cordova, Rafael Carioca, Flores, Ibañez
- Santos Laguna: Acevedo, Abella, Gutierrez, Santamaria, Echeverria, Villalba, Guemez, Lopez, Munoz, Barticciotto, Sordo
Prediction
This week, Tigres confidently defeated their opponent in the Champions Cup and approach this match in high spirits. I believe that at home they can continue their unbeaten streak. My bet is on the visitors' individual total over 2 with odds of 1.55.
