It’s been seldom in recent times that Monterrey have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Monterrey have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 12 goals during that time.
Looking at their form, and Santos Laguna have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 9 goals in all. In defence, Santos Laguna just haven’t been too solid at all. We will have to find out whether or not that trend can be continued on into this next match.
Looking over their most recent head-to-head meetings going back to 09/11/2023 tells us that Monterrey have won 5 of these and Santos Laguna 1, with the number of drawn results standing at 0.
17 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 12 from Los Rayados and 5 created by Guerreros. That is an average goals per game value of 2.83.
The previous league meeting between these sides was Liga MX (Clausura) match day 17 on 26/04/2026 which ended up with the score at Santos Laguna 3-0 Monterrey.
On that day, Santos Laguna managed 45% possession and 7 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorers were Emmanuel Echeverría (43'), Aldo López (45') and Lucas Di Yorio (72').
For their opponents, Monterrey got 16 attempts at goal with 2 on target.
The referee was Abraham de Jesús Quirarte.
In all likelihood, Los Rayados could use the 4-3-3 formation for the game featuring Luis Cárdenas, Érick Aguirre, Stefan Medina, V. Andrés Guzmán, Gerardo Arteaga, Jorge Rodriguez, Fidel Ambríz, Oliver Torres, Luca Orellano, Uros Djurdjevic and Lucas Ariel Ocampos.
There’s a good chance that Guerreros might elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Carlos Acevedo Lopez, José Javier Abella, Efraín Orona, Franco Pardo, Jonathan Pérez, Salvador Mariscal, Carlos Gruezo, Fran Villalba, Ezequiel Bullaude, Diego González and Lucas Di Yorio.
We’re of the view that Santos Laguna would be disappointed if they were not to score a goal against this Monterrey side, although it probably won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We can see a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for Monterrey after the 90. Let’s see what happens here.
