Santos Laguna vs FC Juarez: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Santos Laguna host FC Juarez at Estadio Corona on Sunday, September 13 (8:00 PM ET / 7:00 PM CT / 5:00 PM PT).

Santos Laguna go into this one with a clean bill of health as far as confirmed absences go, so the shape at Estadio Corona should build around the same faces who have carried the attack all season. Ezequiel Bullaude, who has produced 17 shots and 10 chances created in 597 minutes, is the creative fulcrum, with Francisco Villalba (13 chances created) and Mauricio Cuevas (also 13 chances created) offering support from deeper positions. FC Juarez have no fresh team news to report either, and Oscar Estupinan — 2 goals from 11 shots in 522 minutes — remains their most direct route to goal, with Jose Luis Rodriguez Francis (10 chances created, 2 assists) doing the creating behind him.

Neither team travels here with much form to lean on. Santos have won none of their last 5 (L L L D L), including a loss at Cruz Azul, a goalless draw with Tigres UANL and a defeat at Puebla, while Juarez have lost all 5 of theirs (L L L L L), shipping goals heavily in defeats to Monterrey and Pumas UNAM along the way. That shared defensive fragility is exactly why this one looks set to open up at both ends — Santos have the platform and personnel to finally turn a stalemate into a win, but Estupinan’s finishing gives Juarez enough of a threat to make it uncomfortable.
