Club America vs. Santos Laguna - My Pick

• Club America vs. Santos Laguna pick: Santos Laguna +2 alternate Asian spread (-174) at bet365

Going against one of the powers in Mexican soccer is a hard choice to decide on, but the year Club America is currently having the numbers support wagering the other side. In their last 18 games in all competitions or exhibition bouts, only three times have the Mexican giants won by more than a single goal. Historically this matchup has produced tight contests, as in their previous 19 skirmishes only twice Club America was able to win by more than a goal. Think on Saturday evening we get another tight fixture thanks to the sluggish year the defending champions are experiencing.
