Santos Laguna vs Juarez Prediction & Betting Tips (7 October)

Few people expected Santos Laguna to be battling against relegation, but that is the reality facing a team that has suffered ten defeats in 10 games recently, not to mention the fact that they have triumphed only once at home all season. For their part, title-chasing Juarez have recorded seven victories in their most recent ten Liga MX matches.

Juarez have made 14 trips since securing promotion to the Liga MX, with no fewer than 12 of these matches delivering under 3.5 goals, so consistency has certainly not been lacking on this particular front. Santos Laguna are not exactly renowned for bringing the entertainment either, as 15 of their last 18 games at this level have served up no more than three goals.

When these two teams lock horns, the net tends to bulge at both ends, with this being the case in each of their most recent six derbies at the top table of the Liga MX. Not only that, but seven of the last ten Santos Laguna home games at this level have produced goals at both ends, as have 10 of the previous 12 matches involving Juarez.
