Over 1.5 Club America Goals
After a sensational hattrick against Mazatlan on the 29th of January, Henry Martin is now the top scorer in the league with 18 goals to his name. This makes our Santos Laguna vs Club America prediction way easier to write as we fully expect Club America to hammer away at Santos Laguna on the 5th of February and score at least twice.
Santos Laguna have a somewhat leaky defense as the team conceded at least two goals in two of the four Clausura matches so far.
Club America to Win
Unlike Santos Laguna, Club America managed to save their starting XI except for club legend Guillermo Ochoa who’s now performing for Serie A’s Salernitana. Nevertheless, Oscar Jimenez seems to be doing a good job at replacing the veteran as Club America have barely conceded four goals.
That being said, the 6-0 victory over Mazatlan the other day is certainly intimidating and our Santos Laguna vs Club America prediction has to be oriented toward a solid performance by the visitors. After all, Club America even have a head-to-head advantage with four victories, four draws, and only two losses against Santos Laguna.

Santos Laguna odds: +210 – 30.0%
Draw odds: +260 – 26.0%
Club America odds: +122 – 44.0%
As expected, at +122, Club America have a 44.0% chance to defeat Eduardo Fentanes’ side on Sunday while the home team has an unconvincing 30.0% win probability at +210. However, a draw at +260 isn’t too far-fetched as a 26.0% chance of success could be enough if Club America’s players underestimate their rivals.
Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Santos Laguna
After two victories, one draw, and one loss, Laguneros are now in 4th place in the Clausura campaign with comfortable seven points. Trailing by two, the players will strive to do their best against Club America to show they are no pushovers but the truth is that even with home-field support, we couldn’t have relied on the home team in our Santos Laguna vs Club America prediction as the visiting team is just that good.
Predicted lineup – C. Lopez (GK), Campos, Rodriguez, Torres, Manzanarez, R. Lopez, Vargas, Cervantes, Brunetta, Preciado & Correa
Club America
Club America is the most prolific Mexican club and as such, the remaining Liga MX teams are always a tad intimidated when they face the Real Madrid of Mexican soccer. And how can you not be intimidated when your opponent’s last league game ended with a brutal 6-0 beating in their favor? Henry Martin stole the show with a hattrick but Jonathan Rodriguez, Richard Sanchez, and Diego Valdes placed their name on the scoreboard as well and we hope they’ll aid our Santos Laguna vs Club America prediction as well.
Predicted lineup – Jimenez (GK), Lara, Araujo, Caceres, Chavez, Sanchez, Fidalgo, Rodrigues, Valdes, Zendajas & Martin

Player to Watch: Harold Preciado
Now that Fernando Gorriaran is no longer part of Santos Laguna, coach Eduardo Fentanes had to look elsewhere for creativity. And he seems to have found it in the most unexpected place. Harold Preciado, the 28-year-old striker, is not only the top scorer on the team in the Clausura race but he’s also the best creator. His two lovely assists might put our Santos Laguna vs Club America prediction in danger so the visiting team’s defense will have to be on the lookout for his lighting-sharp passes.
