MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

Santos Laguna secured an impressive home league victory in round one of the Apertura campaign, beating Guadalajara 3-0. Brian Lozano, Matheus Doria and Julio Furch hit the back of the net in a dominant performance that highlighted the visitors’ defensive weaknesses. After a disappointing run of form in the Clausura stage, which saw them finish at 11th place in the table, Santos Laguna have started the season with new energy and purpose.

Newcomers Juarez produced a disorganised display in their first game of the Apertura campaign, losing 1-0 away against Atlas. Edson Rivera netted the decisive goal in the 50th minute and Juarez were unable to recover. The squad look unlikely to pose a threat to any teams in the Mexican top flight. They performed poorly in the second division last season, only securing qualification for the top flight through purchasing Lobos BUAP in early June. Without a major overhaul at the club, it will be an uphill struggle for Juarez this season.

Santos Laguna will start as favourites against Juarez in their second league match of the season. The club have the attacking potential to exploit the visitors. With the home advantage, a Santos Laguna victory looks likely.

SECOND PREDICTION: CORRECT SCORE – 2-0

Santos Laguna have almost scored an average of two goals in their past eight regular home games in the Mexican top flight, stretching back to last season. On the other hand, Juarez have failed to score in two of their past three regular away league games, stretching back to last term when they played in the second division. Given those facts, a 2-0 victory for the hosts would come as no surprise in this league fixture.

HEAD TO HEAD

The upcoming league fixture between Santos Laguna and Juarez will be the first time these teams have played in a league match against each other.
