Cruz Azul have a win probability of 42.7%, while Laguneros have a 32.3% chance of securing the three points this week. We believe that a 1-1 Draw at +610 is the most plausible result at Estadio Azteca. With a probability of 14.08%, there’s a high chance the 22 on the pitch will truly share the spoils via a 1-1 tie.

Cruz Azul vs Santos Laguna Lineups & Team News

Cruz Azul

Cruz Azul may have lost all of their Apertura games, but coach Joaquin Moreno’s boys were close to achieving something spectacular – chipping a point away from Inter Miami and Lionel Messi. However, La Pulga’s phenomenal free-kick goal in the last second of the match deprived Cruz Azul of much-needed points, but we do believe our Cruz Azul vs Santos Laguna predictions will succeed, as Moreno’s troops are eager to show they can do better this season after the sturdy performance against the US side.

Predicted lineup – Gudino (GK), Huescas, Guerrero, Salcedo, Rivero, Duenas, Rodriguez, Antuna, Moises, Rotondi & Abonia

Santos Laguna

Despite scoring four goals in the Leagues Cup games against Houston Dynamo and Orlando City, Santos Laguna went home empty-handed. Coach Repetto’s boys couldn’t win either one of the two matches and got rightfully kicked out of the tournament.

Predicted lineup – Lajud (GK), Lopez, Torres, Doria, Campos, Vargas, Cervantes, Vergara, Brunetta, Rodriguez & Preciado

Player to Watch: Uriel Antuna

If our Cruz Azul vs Santos Laguna predictions succeed, it will most likely be thanks to Uriel Antuna’s form. Cruz Azul’s #7 has been a lethal threat in the opposition’s penalty box this season. He scored a 65th-minute equalizer for Cruz Azul in the game against Inter Miami at DRV PNK Stadium on the 22nd of July. We fancy his chances to make an impact at Estadio Azteca as well.
