Universidad Nacional
LWDLDD
Universidad Nacional enter this game following on from a 0-0 Liga MX (Clausura) tied result versus FC Juárez.
It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Universidad Nacional have shown defensive steel. In fact, Universidad Nacional have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals during that time. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this match, however.
A look at their previous results shows us that Universidad Nacional:
- have not been beaten in the league by Santos Laguna in their previous 2 matches.
- are without a home win in the past 4 league games. Their fans aren't happy.

Looking at their form, and Santos Laguna have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 13 goals in all. At the back, Santos Laguna just haven’t been too solid at all.
Ahead of this meeting, Santos Laguna have not won away from home in their last 19 matches in the league. Their travelling supporters must be so depressed.

We’re thinking that Universidad Nacional will most probably get amongst the goals against Santos Laguna, who might well find it a difficult task scoring a goal of their own.
Accordingly, we see a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning margin for Universidad Nacional at the end of the 90 minutes.
