Santos Laguna Preview

Upfront Anthony Lozano is currently the club's leading goal scorer this season with two. The 31-year-old striker's most recent goal occurred on September 28, in a 3-1 defeat against San Luis. The Honduran international has represented his country 55 times, finding the back of the net 14 times. 

Between the sticks, Carlos Acevedo is one of the most active net minders during the 90 frame as he is averaging 4.1 saves per match, one of the highest rates in Liga MX. One of the areas the 28-year-old could currently improve in is not conceding as much as he does as he is retaining a 69.5 save percentage per match. In 11 starts the six-time internationally capped Mexican keeper has only posted one clean sheet.

Club America vs. Santos Laguna - My Pick

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.
