DWWLDL ⚖

Santos Laguna go into this match following on from a 0-0 Liga MX (Apertura) tied result against Atlas.

It has not been often in recent games where Santos Laguna haven’t conceded. In fact, Santos Laguna have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 9 goals along the way.

Taking a look at their past results, Santos Laguna:

• haven't won against Atlas in their last 4 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 7 home league matches.

Atlas

LDLWLL

The stats tell the story, and Atlas have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 11 goals in total. Defensively, Atlas have seen their frailties exposed. Having said that, we must now wait to see whether that pattern might be sustained in this match.

A look at their previous results shows us that Atlas:

• haven't beaten Santos Laguna when they've played them away from home in the last 4 league games. Not good at all.
• remain unbeaten by Santos Laguna when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
• have not won away from home in their last 3 league games.

ℹ️ Team News: Santos Laguna

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Santos Laguna gaffer Eduardo Fentanes to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Ayrton Preciado (Tibia Fracture) is sidelined.

ℹ️ Team News: Atlas

In an otherwise available squad, there is only a single fitness issue for the Atlas manager Diego Cocca to contend with. Mauro Manotas (Cruciate Ligament Injury) won’t be playing here.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Atlas may not find it easy to find the net against this Santos Laguna lineup who we reckon will score & stay on top.

We’re therefore seeing a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for Santos Laguna after 90 minutes.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
