NextGOAL tip: Santos Laguna -0.5 · 2 stars
Santos Laguna and Necaxa meet in clearly contrasting form. The hosts lost 1-4 in their latest match, but before that they were on a winning run of four games including a 5-0 thrashing. The visitors, meanwhile, have not won in 5 straight matches and have only managed a 1-1 draw recently. At home, Santos Laguna are still the team that controls more of the ball and creates chances consistently, especially in the first half when they tend to start well and rarely concede before the break. Necaxa, on the road, have problems in defense, as seen from their away first-half record of conceding an average of one goal per game, and overall this season they have already conceded 27 goals in 14 matches. This game is likely to see the hosts push forward from the start. If Santos Laguna take the lead first, Necaxa will have to open up and trade chances, which will only create more space for the hosts to add to their tally. The game is more likely to end in a home win than a share of the points.
