Santos Laguna travel to Estadio Caliente to face Tijuana in an Apertura 2026 Liga MX fixture, with the two sides arriving in sharply contrasting form.
Sebastian Abreu's Tijuana have struggled to find a win in recent weeks. Los Xolos have drawn four of their last five Liga MX matches and have not tasted victory in that stretch, leaving them 11th in the Apertura standings and fighting to stay in contention for the playoff places.
Santos Laguna arrive in a different mood entirely. Renato Paiva's side have won all five of their last Liga MX matches, scoring freely and conceding little. Los Guerreros sit ninth in the table and are building the kind of momentum that makes them a threat on any ground.
The head-to-head record between these clubs adds another layer of intrigue. Santos Laguna won the most recent meeting 2-1 at Estadio Caliente in March 2026, and they have taken four points from the last two fixtures played at this venue.
For Abreu, a home win is becoming urgent. For Paiva, three points away from home would push Santos further up the standings and extend one of the more impressive runs in the division this season.

Starting XI
Substitutes
Manager
- S. Abreu
- R. Paiva
Sebastian Abreu has not confirmed his starting lineup for Tijuana ahead of this fixture. No injury or suspension information has been officially listed for the home side, and squad updates are expected closer to kick-off.
Renato Paiva is similarly yet to announce his projected XI for Santos Laguna. No injuries or suspensions are currently confirmed for the visiting side, with further team news to be added as the match approaches.
Form
Tijuana head into this match having won none, drawn four, and lost one of their last five Liga MX outings. Their most recent fixture ended in a 2-2 draw with Toluca, and they also drew 0-0 with Puebla in that run. Their only defeat came against Atlas, losing 2-3. Los Xolos scored seven goals and conceded eight across those five matches.
Santos Laguna arrive in outstanding form, winning all five of their last Liga MX matches. Paiva's side beat Club Universidad Nacional 2-0 in their most recent outing and also thrashed Queretaro FC 5-0 during that run. Santos scored 11 goals and conceded just three across those five fixtures, a record that reflects both their attacking output and defensive organisation.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these sides took place in March 2026, when Santos Laguna won 2-1 at Estadio Caliente in a Liga MX fixture. Across the last five head-to-head matches, Santos Laguna hold the advantage, winning three of the five encounters, with one draw and one Tijuana win. The five fixtures produced a combined 14 goals.
Standings
In the current Apertura 2026 standings, Santos Laguna sit ninth while Tijuana occupy 11th place, with both sides in the lower half of the top flight and in need of points to strengthen their playoff positions.
