In their loss to Tigres, Santos Laguna was missing Pedro Aquino and Ronaldo Prieto due to knee injuries, while Jose Juan Macias is dealing with a muscle strain.

Last year, Preciado was instrumental in the Leagues Cup, scoring three of the team's four goals, with the only other goal coming from Raul Lopez in a defeat against Orlando City.
