Santos Laguna vs. Club America Prediction: Home Side in Tough Facing Defending Champs

On Saturday three-peat Liga MX champions, Club America will make its way down to Estadio Corona to clash against Santos Laguna. In the previous term, Club America handily defeated the Guerreros 3-0 at home in their most recent tilt. Head-to-head in the preceding 39 encounters across all competitions the Águilas possess the advantage winning on 20 occasions versus Santos’ 10, while both clubs have remained level after regulation time in nine instances. 

Ex Club America manager Fernando Ortiz’s men suffered a 2-1 setback against Pachuca last weekend. Santos Laguna conceded an own goal and to make matters worse they had to play with 10 men due to Cristian Dajome picking up a red card in the first half. 

Meanwhile, André Jardine’s club trotted out their U-23 players for the second consecutive week. This time Club America were unable to secure a maximum result, splitting the points with Tijuana, earning a 1-1 draw. The Águilas were unable to cash in on their opportunities, outshooting their adversary 17 to 11 as well finishing with an x.G of 2.21.

Scoring the lone goal for his side last weekend, Jose Marcias finally registered a tally in a Santos Laguna kit. The 25-year-old striker played 12 minutes last weekend, earning his first appearance on the pitch since August 9th in the Leagues Cup tournament.

Earning first-team minutes, Patricio Salas is growing into a prized prospect for the Eagles. Against Tijuana last week, the 20-year-old striker appeared in all 90 minutes while acquiring two shots towards the target. Salas also finished the match with the most duels won with nine. 

Esteban Lozano made the most of his 30-minute shift last week. The 21-year-old hit the back of the net immediately coming on as a substitute. Lozano amassed five shots taken at the net, with three reaching the target.

Santos Laguna vs. Club America - My Pick

• Santos Laguna vs. Club America pick: Both teams to Score YES (-134) at bet365

Despite Santos Laguna sitting at the bottom of the table early on in the Clausura season, the historical trend between these two confronting teams at Estadio Corona should result in our wager winning. Eight of the last eleven meetings have panned out with both sides getting on the scoresheet when the Verdiblancos are the hosts. Santos Laguna has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches. Club America is proving they can find a tally no matter who they’re dressing in the lineup, so we feel they are good enough to at least get one past the keeper.

This is Santos Laguna’s first home game of the campaign, we feel they will be fired up and the backing of their home fans can give them a shot in the arm to get the offense going against a potential U-23-filled starting-11 on Saturday.
