Betting on Santos Laguna
The Guerreros currently occupy the ninth place in the general standings, but they can’t celebrate yet, as two losses could leave them out of the playoffs. Yes, that’s how tight the Liga MX qualification system works.
The local team had been on a negative run of three games, but in the last matchday, they managed to get a pretty good victory against the leader at their own stadium. They defeated Rayados by a score of 2-1, who lost Rogelio Funes Mori very early in the match. In this decisive victory, Rayados took advantage of a penalty in the 90th minute to defeat La Pandilla, which gave them plenty of confidence to close the tournament in the best possible way and reach the playoffs with rhythm.
Possible lineup (5-3-2): Carlos Acevedo; Diego Medina, Oscar Manzanares, Félix Torres, Hugo Rodríguez, Omar Campos; Salvador Mariscal, Alan Cervantes, Juan Brunetta; Javier Correa, Harold Preciado.
Betting on Queretaro
It hasn’t been Querétaro’s best tournament so far, as they have only won three games in the Liga MX. However, the fact that they still have a chance to fight for the title shows how unpredictable and exciting this league can be. Nevertheless, we have to admit that the Gallos have improved significantly.
They are currently on a five-game undefeated streak, and their last three matches have been impressive. They defeated Pumas 1-0 (before their slump), then defeated Xolos in Tijuana 2-1, and in the last round, they managed to get a draw against Tigres with a score of 0-0. These are three serious teams, and Querétaro earned points in all of these matches.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Gil Alcalá; Omar Mendoza, Kevin Balanta, Miguel Barbieri, Jonathan Perlaza; Pablo Barrera, Kevin Escamilla, Christian Rivera, Manuel Duarte; Raúl Zuñiga, Ángel Sepúlveda.
JefeBet Prediction
This match is going to be intense because both teams are fighting for a spot in the playoffs. Santos hasn’t been as good at home as in previous tournaments, having only won three out of seven matches played. The Guerreros will also be without an important player in midfield, as Lucas González is suspended due to his red card in the match against Monterrey.
Querétaro, on the other hand, is not a good visitor, having won only one out of seven, but in recent challenges they have managed important draws and victories. Therefore, at JefeBet we believe that the current momentum matters a lot, and they will share points.
Prediction: Moneyline Tie (SAN 1-1 QUE).
