Santos Laguna León betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 18^th position of the league, with 4 points won, after 3 wins, 5 draws and 19 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Atlas, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Monterrey, by (4‑2). This is a team that usually plays better at home, where they have won 3 points, against only 1 point in away matches. In the last 10 home league matches Santos Laguna has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 30 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑1 (5 out of 13 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 10 of the last 13 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 6 of the last 27 matches for the Liga MX, they have reached half‑time in front in 3 of those 6 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 27 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 20 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 13 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 10 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Santos Laguna are going through a delicate time in the Clausura, in last place and with just one win so far. The team has struggled both defensively, conceding a lot of goals, and in attack, with little efficiency. If they are to have any chance of springing a surprise, they will need to perform much better than they have done so far. Playing at home, the team needs to find a balance between defensive security and attacking creativity. The pressure for positive results increases with each round, making this game crucial. A win against the leaders could represent a turning point in the season.
