Club Puebla vs Santos Laguna: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Club Puebla host Santos Laguna at Estadio Cuauhtemoc on Saturday, August 22 (9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 PM PT).

Club Puebla have no fresh fitness concerns to report and look set to lean again on Fernando Monarrez, whose 4 shots and 4 chances created have made him their most involved forward, alongside Kevin Velasco and Alberto Herrera, the latter already up to 2 assists in just 146 minutes on the field this season. Santos Laguna also travel with a clean bill of health, banking on Ezequiel Bullaude, who has fired 12 shots and created 6 chances so far, alongside Fran Villalba, whose 8 chances created lead the visitors’ creative numbers, and Eduardo Aguirre, who already has 1 goal in just 183 minutes.

This looks a tight, low-event fixture at Estadio Cuauhtemoc. Puebla’s recent home form has been solid without being spectacular, a 1-1 draw with Chivas following a 1-0 win at FC Juarez, and that kind of control should suit them against a Santos Laguna side that has lost 3 straight, most recently a 3-0 defeat at Club America. Goals may be hard to come by for the visitors, and Puebla’s edge through Monarrez and Herrera should be enough to see them home by the smallest of margins.
