Team news & rosters
| Position | Santos roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Acevedo, Lajud, Holguin Perez |
| Defenders | Diaz, Torres, Orrantia, Rodríguez, Dona, Pizzichillo, L. Gonzalez |
| Midfielders | Campos, Cervantes, Suarez, Lozano, Gorriarán, Andrade, Lopez, Avila, Prieto, Medina, Brunetta, Preciado, Games |
Forward | Preciado, Perez, Lozano Silva, Aguirre, Correa, Domínguez, J. Gonzalez |
Arriving on the back of a defeat to Tigres, loss has checked Santos Laguna's momentum - but not their Liga MX ambition this term.
Eduardo Aguirre and Hugo Isaac Rodriguez have been the form players for the club this term, and they'll back themselves to halt any incoming slump before it can get going, especially on their own turf.
Predicted Santos starting XI: Lopez; Campos, Rodriguez, Torres, Orrantia, Brunetta, Cervantes, Gorriaran, Gonzalez, Aguirre, Correa.
| Position | Leon roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Blanco, Cota, Vázquez |
| Defenders | Celestine, Buron, Tesillo, Barreiro, Castillo, O. Rodriguez, Saracho, J. Ramírez, P. Hernandez, Cervantes, Romero, I. Ramírez, Villa |
| Midfielders | J. Rodríguez, Morales, E. Hernandez, Ibarra, Diaz, Moreno, Ambriz, Zamora, Muniz, Uribe, Guerrero |
| Forwards | Dávila, Martinez, Campbell, Mena, Di Yorio, Alvarado, Rangel |
Leon conversely need a desperate return to form after consecutive wallopings left them looking a little less secure in their position.
Heavy losses to Monterrey and Mazatlan were not on their agenda, and they will be as keen as mustard to reverse their fortunes.
Predicted Leon starting XI: Cota; Castillo, Barreiro, Bellon Saracho, Rodriguez, Mena, Ambriz, Montes, Campbell, Davila, Di Yorio.
