Betting on Santos
Eduardo Fentanes was booed out of the TSM after the tremendous drubbing they suffered against Toluca at home, but this was the straw that broke the camel’s back, as the team has now gone 5 matches without a win.
This was one of the worst defeats of the coach’s career and one of Santos’ worst at home. To make matters worse for the local team, Fentanes’ project is beginning to be questioned because, although the Guerreros are qualifying for the playoffs, they could finish the tournament out of this stage if they do not get back on track.
Aside from the defense, which ended up breaking down against the Devils, the offense is generating nothing and scoring little. The last three games have been alarming, as they have scored only two goals and scored 5 times. Fentanes took full responsibility and remains in charge for the time being, but that could change if he continues to lose.
Possible Lineup (4-3-1-2): Carlos Acevedo; Raul Lopez, Hugo Rodriguez, Matheus Doria, Omar Campos; Diego Medina, Alan Cervantes, Lucas Gonzalez; Juan Brunetta; Javier Correa, Harold Preciado
Puebla Preview
Visitors come into this game after two consecutive losses, but only one win in the last 5 games and only two in the whole tournament. The stripes fell spectacularly and are nothing like what they showed last tournament.
They have two very painful defeats and in both of them the team did not work. The first was against León, against whom they held their own in the first half, but in the second half everything changed. They played 10 minutes with one player less, and that affected them because they conceded a second goal that sealed the match in favor of their opponents.
Last matchday the impossible happened, Cruz Azul won their first match of the tournament, and the victim was Puebla at home. They were defeated by a score of 0-3 and Lucas Maia’s goal didn’t help to turn things around, because it was La Máquina who dominated the entire game.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Antony SIlva; Patrick Villa, Emanuel Gularte, Gastón Silva, Daniel Aguilar; Diego de Buen; Gustavo Ferrareis, Omar Fernández, Federico Mancuello, Pablo Parra; Martín Barragán.
JefeBet Prediction
Santos were beaten at home, but for this game they will be looking to avoid the same thing to happen. That’s why we believe they will have a hard time, but they will beat Puebla, who definitely can’t win away from home.
Prediction: Santos 1-0 Puebla
