Mazatlanwill be hoping to make it three wins in a row when they host Santos Laguna at Estadio de Mazatlan in their latest Liga MX Apertura fixture on Wednesday night.
The hosts currently find themselves in 12th place in the Mexican top-flight standings with 16 points after 14 games this season, and come into this encounter off back-to-back morale-boosting wins to get their season back on track. Last week, they pummeled 16th-place Queretaro 3-0 in a result that, considering Mazatlan's dominance, could have easily been more impressive.
While the home side are back flying again, Santos Laguna returned to winning ways themselves, and in some style, thrashing 10th-placed FC Juarez 5-1 in front of their home support at Estadio Nuevo Corona.
The visitors haven’t been very consistent with their display since the start of the season, and have lost two of their last three games to currently sit in 11th place, one point out of the 10th and final playoff position in the table.
