Cruz Azul Preview

Scoring in consecutive matches for the first time in the 2024 Apertura, Angel Sepulveda has now taken over as the clubs top scorer this campaign. Scoring in the opening minute last week, the 33-year-old has seven goals in 14 league appearances.

Santos Laguna Preview

In net, it could be a long evening for Carlos Acevedo facing a juggernaut like Cruz Azul as he is putting up substandard numbers again. The 28-year-old has allowed 22 goals past him in 13 matches started. His shot-stopping abilities see him in the bottom half of Liga MX with his 69.9 save percentage.

If Santos Laguna wants to avoid defeat on Saturday, their leading goal-getter, Anthony Lozano will have to step up. The 25-year-old striker has three league goals to account in his first taste of top-flight soccer in Mexico. In 880 minutes played, the Honduran international is averaging 0.61 shots on target per 90.

Blue Cross vs. Santos Laguna – My Pick

Asking a club to win by three goals is a tough task in most cases, but the way both clubs are trending, Cruz Azul should be more than capable of covering the spread. At home this year, Cruz Azul have won by more than two goals in four out of seven matches. Santos Laguna has been dreadful in away performances losing five of their six away trips. Finding the back of the net has proven to be a burdensome task only garnering three away goals. With the discrepancy on paper and the results-driven in this year’s Apertura season, we feel Cruz Azul could lay another pasting on an inferior side.
