Why Bet on Santos Laguna?
Santos Laguna has been a disappointing club this semester, although they have had problems that have diminished the possibility of aspiring for more. Last matchday, the Torreón team lost 2-0 at home to Necaxa, with goals from Brian Samudio and Ricardo Monreal.
This team is in 12th place with 15 points and has scored 15 goals but has allowed 23. In other words, its defense has been its weak point. Although, at home, they have only allowed six goals, so they could be a stone in the road for their opponents. Santos Laguna has gone four games without a win, drawing twice and losing its other two. They have not won since March 9, more than a month ago.
Another drawback is the loss of Colombian striker Harold Preciado after testing positive in a doping test. He was the great scorer of this club.
Santos Laguna’s only injury loss is Argentinean defender Santigo Núñez.
Why Bet on Pachuca?
Pachuca is expected to fight for the title but needs to find a point of consistency, as it is currently in sixth place. In their last outing, they lost 1-0 to Chivas de Guadalajara. The only conversion was an own goal by Jorge Berlanga.
The Tuzos have 25 points, the product of eight wins, six defeats, and only one draw. They have 26 goals against but are the second-best offense, with 31 goals scored. Pachuca has one of the best strikers in the Liga MX, Venezuelan Salomón Rondón, who has eight goals and two assists. Counting all competitions, he has scored five goals in his last five outings.
This team has only won once in its last five matches and has an even record away from home, with three wins, one draw, and three defeats. Meanwhile, another fact to consider is that the Tuzos have won three of their most recent five matches against this rival.
Due to injury, this team is without Eduardo ‘La Chofis’ López.
