Santos Laguna vs Club Tijuana Prediction: Expecting a Draw

In the upcoming fixture of Liga Mexico, Santos Laguna will be up against Club Tijuana at the Estadio Corona in La Concha. Going in the matchup, Santos Laguna stands 11th with 3 wins and 12 points, whereas Club Tijuana stands 12th with just 2 wins and 11 points. With the points difference shrinking throughout the teams’ standings, the upcoming fixtures of Liga Mexico are likely to be full of surprises. For the upcoming matchup, Santos Laguna is likely to miss out on Ronaldo Prieto and Eduardo Aguirre due to injuries, whereas Tijuana will be missing out on Carlos Valenzuela due to the red card suspension in the last outing. Tijuana and Santos Laguna last played in August 2022, and Santos won 0-2. 

Going in the matchup, Santos Laguna has managed to win just one match from the last five played in Liga MX. In the last outing, Santos lost to Guadalajara (2-0), in which Santos had just 2 shots on target compared to Guadalajara’s 7. Moving forward, Santos Laguna has scored 5 goals in its last 5 outings, averaging about 1.00 goals per game. With a slightly better record at home in Liga MX, Santos will be fancying its chances for securing a win or at least a draw to improve their overall form. 

Going in the matchup, Club Tijuana is coming off a fine draw against Atlas (1-1) in which Lucas Daniel Cavallini scored the all-important equalizer just before the stroke of halftime. With the likes of Martinez, Diaz, and Lertora providing reinforcements to the defense, Club Tijuana is unlikely to allow easy scoring from the other end. For tomorrow’s match against Santos, Kevin Castaneda and Joaquin Montecinos’ inclusion in the starting lineup will be subject to fitness. Tijuana has managed to score at least a goal in all of its last five matches (6 goals in 5 outings), averaging 1.2 goals per game.  

Santos Laguna has allowed at least a goal in its last 8 Liga MX matches. Therefore, Club Tijuana will be fancying their chances to score positively. Though Tijuana hasn’t been really successful in winning away fixtures, the upcoming matchup’s result might be shared evenly. As Tijuana has scored in all of its last 5 matches in the competition, I am predicting both teams to score and the final scoreline to be 1-1.
