Santos Laguna and Club Leon will square off at the Estadio Nuevo Corona on Sunday to kick off the Mexican Liga MX's new schedule.
Last Thursday, Santos Laguna defeated a tenacious Club Tijuana team 2-1 at La Concha to go back on the winning track. Before then, Pablo Repetto's team had lost their previous two games, falling to Pachuca and Club Necaxa, respectively.
In other news, Club Leon's previous 1-1 draw with Queretaro prevented them from winning consecutive league matches for the first time this year. This came after a valiant 1-0 victory against Monterrey on September 24 that put a stop to their string of four straight league losses.
