Player to watch: Nicolas Ibanez
We have Ibanez down as the player to watch in our professional Tigres UANL vs Santos Laguna prediction, as it seems he is slowly replacing veteran Gignac among the starters. With five goals and an assist during the 2024/25 Liga MX campaign, Ibanez is proving he has what it takes to be Tigres’ starting striker.
Second player to watch: Franco Fagundez
Franco Fagundez took part in three Santos Laguna goals this season. He scored two of them himself, as he assisted once.
