Santos Laguna host Tigres UANL at Estadio Corona on Saturday, August 29 (11:00 PM ET / 10:00 PM CT / 8:00 PM PT).
No absences are flagged for either side ahead of this one. Santos Laguna will lean on Ezequiel Bullaude, who has fourteen shots and seven chances created in his appearances so far, while Fran Villalba’s eleven created chances make him the creative focal point in midfield. Tigres UANL are expected to build around Juan Brunetta, whose three goals and seventeen chances created lead the squad, alongside Rodrigo Aguirre, who has two goals from limited minutes.
Santos Laguna arrive off five straight league defeats, conceding in every one of them, and the sequence has stripped confidence at Estadio Corona. Tigres UANL have not fared much better through the run-in, taking one win, one draw and three losses across their last five matches. Saturday’s trip follows a 2-0 home win over Atlante FC that suggests some form is returning. With Santos Laguna shipping goals throughout their slide and Tigres UANL carrying finishers in Brunetta and Rodrigo Aguirre, this reads as a game where both defenses will be breached before Tigres UANL nose in front.

Santos Laguna don’t have a comparable points return on record here, and their five-match losing streak explains why confidence is low at Estadio Corona.

Santos Laguna vs Tigres UANL Prediction
Signal has this finishing 1-2 to Tigres UANL, and the shape of the season so far backs that up. Santos Laguna are winless across their last five matches and have shown they can be undone at both ends, while Tigres UANL – even with an uneven away record – have enough in Brunetta and Rodrigo Aguirre to turn a scrappy game their way at Estadio Corona.
