Santos Laguna vs Club Leon Prediction and Betting Tips | October 8th 2023

The Mexican Liga MX returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Santos Laguna and Club Leon go head-to-head at the Estadio Nuevo Corona on Sunday.

The Guerreros have won their last three home games against Nicolas Larcamon’s men in the league and will look to continue in the same vein.

Santos Laguna returned to winning ways last Thursday when they edged out a dogged Club Tijuana side 2-1 in La Concha.

Prior to that, Pablo Repetto’s men were on a two-match losing streak, suffering successive defeats against Pachuca and Club Necaxa respectively.

With last Thursday’s result, Santos have now won three of their first four home league games this season while scoring eight goals in that time.

Elsewhere, Club Leon were denied successive league wins for the first time this season as they played out a 1-1 draw with Queretaro last time out.

This followed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Monterrey on September 24 which saw their run of four consecutive league games without a win come to an end.

With 12 points from 10 matches, Club Leon are currently 12th in the Liga MX standings, two points and one place behind Sunday’s hosts.

Santos Laguna vs Club Leon Prediction

Consistency has been lacking this season for both Santos Laguna and Club Leon, who are separated by just two points in the bottom half of the table. While they are evenly matched on paper, we fancy the Guerreros edging out Larcamon’s men, who have struggled for results on the road.
