Top Santos Laguna vs Pumas UNAM prediction for Liga MX
This will be a second attempt for Santos Laguna to earn a victory in the Clausura. Let’s see if the players have what it takes to brush Pumas UNAM aside on Sunday.
Contents
Santos Laguna to win
Following that 0:3 fiasco against Tigres UANL, Santos Laguna players will undoubtedly try to swiftly forget about the opener and focus on matchday two. Pumas UNAM have been a dreadful team during the opening part of the season as they couldn’t even qualify for the final series.
With five victories, one draw, and four losses against Pumas UNAM, it’s fair to state that Santos Laguna have a historical advantage as well.
BTTS – Yes
Yes, we fully anticipate for the home team to win but we have to mention that there are some issues that coach Eduardo Fentanes must quickly address. His key player from a couple of months ago was Fernando Gorriaran and his key striker is Eduardo Aguirre. Neither one of them will be in the starting XI and this will surely make Pumas UNAM’s chance to score a bit higher. Furthermore, in six of the last 10 games between the two teams, we’ve seen goals from both clubs.

Santos Laguna odds: -107 – 46.0%
Draw odds: +245 – 29.0%
Pumas UNAM odds: +300 – 25.0%
You don’t need these -107 odds from the bookmakers to know that Santos Laguna’s chance to win on the 15th of January is far higher than the supposed 46.0%. Nevertheless, the home-field support might amount to nothing if Santos Laguna’s players don’t focus as they were quite distracted in their last league game. That’s why at -133, we expect both clubs to score on Sunday as there’s a 57.1% probability for us to see such an event.
Predicted lineups, team news, and last result
Santos Laguna
Santos Laguna were among the best Apertura teams and the 10 victories, five draws, and only two losses in the opening 17 games can confirm that.
We feel that the 0:3 beating they took versus Tigres UANL was a fluke and we won’t get to see something like this happen again any time soon. Santos Laguna certainly didn’t deserve to get trashed as they had the same number of shots and more possession on the ball than Tigres UANL.
Predicted lineup – C. Lopez (GK), R. Lopez, Torres, Rodriguez, Campos, Cervantes, Vargas, Gonzalez, Brunetta, Vazquez & Preciado
Pumas UNAM
Soccer legend Dani Alves took part in Pumas UNAM’s last game and he sure helped his teammate achieve a much-desired Clausura start. The thrifty 2:1 victory over Juarez at Estadio Olimpico Universitario was really something special and we’re certain that the fans have appreciated the performance as well as not every day you can see your beloved team dominate someone with 70% possession and 20 shots.
Predicted lineup – Sosa (GK), Bennevenedo, Ortiz, Galindo, Aldrete, Alaffita, Rivas, Pichardo, del Prete, Salvio & Dinenno
Starting lineups
Santos Laguna
Unam Pumas
*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to watch: Juan Brunetta
There’s not much you can do when someone offers you €12.50m for one of your players. And that’s exactly what Santos Laguna’s management did when Tigres UANL sent an official bid for Fernando Gorriaran who was the key creator on the team last season.
It was a huge hit for the club’s ambitions to see the star player leave but the people in charge were quick to react with the signing of 25-year-old Juan Brunette. The Argentine player operates in the same position as Fernando Gorriaran and he certainly possesses similar qualities. We will have to wait and see how well he gels with the other players but we’re confident that he’ll be one of the top players for Santos Laguna this season.
