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

Prediction published on 2/7/25, 4:48 PM  by Carlos Zabala in Liga MX Picks

Santos Laguna is going through the worst sporting crisis it has ever had, as it finished last in the last Clausura tournament and could not have had a worse start to the Clausura tournament, losing 5 games in a row, 3 of them without being able to score goals. Of course, this has triggered the anger of fans who are asking for changes at the management level. A signing aimed at reinforcing a dysfunctional attack, that of Chilean forward Bruno Barticciotto, is the most immediate key that the club and coach Ortiz have to try to remedy the situation.

5 days before their next match against Necaxa, Santos lost in Torreón against Puebla by a score of 0-2, in a match with many shots on goal from both teams but only with precision from Puebla, who went ahead with a goal from Quinones in the 17th minute. The 4-2-2-2 system did not work in the best way, as it allowed Puebla to have up to 4 "big chances."

Meanwhile, Necaxa lost 3 and won this season, it seems to be a team with streaks. During the Apertura tournament on October 5th, they started an uninterrupted streak of 5 consecutive games losing that took them out of the final playoffs, so they will want to leave this recent losing streak at two as soon as possible.
