On the 3rd of March, Santos Laguna plays host to Pumas UNAM in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Liga MX teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 19 degrees, which is great football weather. Santos Laguna sits at 18th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Juárez. Neither Juárez nor Santos Laguna could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 8 and 11 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Santos Laguna looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while 6th placed Pumas UNAM is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against América. Neither Pumas UNAM nor América could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 9 and 9 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Pumas UNAM should be reasonably happy with their performance.
On the 5th of November, Pumas UNAM hosted Santos Laguna at the Estadio Olímpico De Universitario in their last match together. Santos Laguna won by a score of 3 to 0. Diego Valdés struck first for Santos Laguna in the 17th minute on a feed from Jesús Isijara, then Diego Valdés added another in the 53rd minute on a feed from Eduar Ayrton Preciado Garcia In the end, Pumas UNAM was frustrated by Santos Laguna’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Santos Laguna ended the match with the shutout victory.
Pumas UNAM is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Rodriguez Guemes and Arturo Ortíz Martínez each only have 1 goal in their last five. Eduar Ayrton Preciado Garcia and Torres Caicedo are the top scorers for Santos Laguna in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
