Santos Laguna vs Tigres UANL: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Santos Laguna vs Tigres UANL predicted formations

Santos Laguna host Tigres UANL at Estadio Corona on Saturday, August 29 (11:00 PM ET / 10:00 PM CT / 8:00 PM PT).

Santos Laguna’s team news carries no fresh fitness concerns after the defeat at Puebla, with Ezequiel Bullaude — the squad leader with 14 shots and 4 on target — expected to spearhead the attack alongside Francisco Villalba, whose team-high 11 chances created make him the main creative outlet. Tigres UANL, with no absentees flagged either, will again build around Juan Francisco Brunetta, who has produced 3 goals, 3 assists and 17 chances created from 449 minutes this season.

Santos Laguna have conceded in matches like the 3-2 loss at Club Puebla and the 3-2 loss at Monterrey, and with Brunetta carrying that kind of end product for Tigres UANL, this looks set to be a game where both defenses are breached again. Tigres’ own results this season — a draw and three losses to go with the 1 win in their last five — mean it won’t be one-way traffic, but their extra firepower in attack should be enough to get across the line.

    Santos Laguna vs Tigres UANL Prediction

    Tigres UANL have picked up 4 points from 5 matches, form that might not sound electric but still puts them ahead of a Santos Laguna side toting 5 straight defeats. Santos Laguna have conceded in matches like the 3-2 loss at Club Puebla and the 3-2 loss at Monterrey, and Tigres UANL’s Juan Francisco Brunetta, with 3 goals and 17 chances created already this season, gives the visitors the sharper edge in a game that should see goals at both ends. We see Tigres UANL winning 1-2 at Estadio Corona.
