Free Leon vs Santos Laguna Predictions for Liga MX’s Matchday 12
With Leon in such a good mood these days, it’s hard not to pick them as favorites against Santos Laguna on the 20th of March.
Contents
Leon/Leon
Let us preface our top Leon vs Santos Laguna prediction by saying that coach Nicolas Larcamon’s boys have the best momentum in the league. With three victories and two draws in the last five games, Leon are prime candidates for a spot in the final series.
And while Santos Laguna are breathing down Leon’s neck in 8th place, the visitors certainly lack consistency as they have two victories, two losses, and one draw in the last five games.
Furthermore, the head-to-head data is also slightly in Leon’s favor. The last five matches between the two sides ended with two victories for Leon, two draws, and one Santos Laguna win.
Under 1.5 Goals
For this Leon vs Santos Laguna prediction, we’re not going to turn to the head-to-head statistics. Not one of the last five games ended with only one goal or no goals at all.
This week, we’d like to defy the odds as there’s not about Leon’s performance that suggests plenty of goals on Monday. This is the club with the best defensive line in the league (only seven goals conceded) and one of the worst attacks. After all, Nicolas Larcamon’s boys barely scored 12 times this season.

Leon odds: -105 – 48.5%
Draw odds: +270 – 26.0%
Santos Laguna odds: +275- 25.5%
A draw at +270 (26.0%) and a Santos Laguna win at +275 (25.5%) are almost identical. That being said, they are events that our Leon vs Santos Laguna predictions don’t cover. We’re confident in Leon’s potential to win this match and the -105 odds from FanDuel are too good to ignore.
Leon vs Santos Laguna Lineups & Team News
Leon
Lucas Di Yorio is not having the best season and that’s why Leon’s attacking numbers aren’t as impressive as we’re used to seeing them. Nevertheless, the defenders picked up the slack and now we see Nicolas Larcamon’s unbeatable force sitting comfortably in 7th position. Seeing as they had to play Tauro twice in the CONCACAF Champions League over the past two weeks, we believe that our Leon vs Santos Laguna predictions should turn out to be successful. After all, Leon’s players are tired, and Nicolas Larcamon will certainly be even more defensive-minded in this match.
Predicted lineup – Cota (GK), Bellon, Frias, Barreiro, J. Moreno, Ambriz, Y. Moreno, Rodriguez, Davila, Mena & Di Yorio
Santos Laguna
A lovely brace by Javier Marcelo Correa on the 13th of March proved decisive as Santos Laguna earned a massive 3-2 victory over Tijuana. Coach Eduardo Fentanes’ boys had no room for error as Leon are pulling ahead in the ranking. If Santos Laguna want to book their tickets to the final series, they’ll have to start performing more convincingly as the 3-2 win over Tijuana could’ve just as easily been in favor of the Pack.
Predicted lineup – C. Lopez (GK), R. Lopez, Doria, Rodriguez, Campos, Brunetta, Vargas, Cervantes, Vazquez, Correa & Preciado

Player to Watch: Rodolfo Cota
Our exclusive Leon vs Santos Laguna predictions rely heavily on Rodolfo Cota’s tremendous goalkeeping skills. His catlike reflexes are even more impressive when you know he’s a 35-year-old player who’ll soon turn 36. Nevertheless, he’s the first option for manager Nicolas Larcamon when it comes to the goalkeeping position, and seeing as he’s the leader in clean sheets this season, we’re convinced that he’ll be among the starters against Santos Laguna as well.
