ℹ️ Team News: Santos Laguna

Eduardo Aguirre (Surgery) and Ronaldo Prieto (Patella problems) won’t be playing for Santos Laguna manager Eduardo Fentanes.

In our view, Guerreros should use the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Carlos Acevedo Lopez, Raúl López, M. Dória Macedo, Hugo Rodriguez, Omar Campos, Lucas González, Aldo López Vargas, Jair González, J. F. Brunetta, H. Fabián Preciado and Javier Correa.

🗞️ Team News: Club Tijuana

Out of a mainly healthy group, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Club Tijuana gaffer Miguel Herrera to be concerned with. Jonathan Orozco (Wirst Injury) misses out for this game.

We reckon that Xoloitzcuintles could decide to make use of a 5-3-2 lineup by sending out J. Antonio Rodriguez, Rodrigo Parra, Ismael Govea, Lisandro Lopez, Nicolás Díaz, Alejandro Martínez, Federico Lértora, Leonel Lopez, Lucas Rodríguez, Lucas Cavallini and Alexis Pedro Canelo.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Club Tijuana should be able to score a goal against this Santos Laguna lineup, although that is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.

We think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Santos Laguna after the 90. Definitely a tough call.
