Sunday's Liga MX action wraps up with an exciting clash between Santos Laguna and Necaxa.
Currently sitting in 10th place, Necaxa comes into this game on the back of an impressive 3-0 victory over Juarez at Estadio Victoria. Despite controlling just 29% of possession, they were ruthlessly efficient, converting seven shots on target into three goals.
Meanwhile, Santos Laguna finds themselves in a challenging position. After being knocked out of the Leagues Cup by Cincinnati, they have failed to secure a win in their two back-to-back Liga MX matches. However, their recent away draw against Leon, where the odds were heavily stacked against them, offers a glimmer of hope.
The hosts have endured a rough start to the season, collecting just two points from their first six games. With the tournament still in its early stages, their prospects of making the playoffs are already looking slim.
