Club Leon vs Club Santos Laguna Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 8/22/24, 8:32 AM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 8/22/24 at 4:33 PM in Liga MX Picks

The fifth round of the Liga MX will be played this weekend, and next Saturday’s night the schedule will offer 5 matches, being one of the most interesting the clash between Leon and Santos Laguna, teams that didn’t have a good start of the season and that were early eliminated from the Leagues Cup, so for that reason, they need to get completely focused on performing better at the local tournament.

On the one hand, Leon hasn’t been able to win a single match after 4 disputed rounds, accumulating a streak of 3 ties in a row. In this regard, their defensive line has showed a lot of weaknesses, so Barreiro, Bellon and Frias must try to consolidate a solid block to keep as much clean sheets as possible. In addition, Guerra and Cadiz must try to be more effective as Leon is suffering from a lack of goals during the most recent matches.

On the other hand, Santos Laguna is even passing through a worse moment than Leon as they’ve only been able to sum 1 point after 5 disputed matches, remarking as one of the worst defensives with 9 conceded goals. In this regard, it must be noted that Nuñez won’t be part of the lineup as he was given a straight red card during their most recent match against Tijuana, so Santamaria and Carrillo will be exposed to constant dangerous attacks from Leon.
