Match preview: Santos Laguna vs Pumas

Santos Laguna and Pumas will meet at Nuevo Corona Stadium in the first round of the MX League. Historically, the home side has had the upper hand in direct encounters here, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 5 face-offs. However, their last meeting at this venue on 14‑07-2024 ended in a 1-1 draw, with goals from Santiago Muñoz for Santos Laguna and César Huerta for Pumas. The home advantage could play a crucial role in this match as both teams have shown significant differences in their home and away form.

Team analysis: Santos Laguna

The home team enters this season after finishing last season in 18th place. They are typically stronger when playing at home, as their last 30 games reflect 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses on home turf, compared to 2 draws and 13 losses away. In their most recent MX League match, they suffered a significant home defeat against Tijuana (0-4). Over the last 10 home matches, Santos Laguna has secured 2 victories, 2 draws, and 6 losses. Their defensive stability has been a notable issue, conceding goals in 9 out of those 10 matches. There is a trend of high-scoring games in their home fixtures, with 17 of their last 19 ending with over 1.5 goals. Out of 15 matches, they managed to overturn the score only once after conceding first.

Santos Laguna’s performance last season left much to be desired. They found themselves at the bottom of the table in both Apertura and Clausura, leading them to aim for improvement this season. With a fresh approach and friendly conditions in this fixture, they aim to demonstrate their prowess against a Pumas side that typically presents challenges on their travels.

Team analysis: Pumas

The visiting team makes their season debut after finishing last season in 10th place. Pumas tends to perform better at home, boasting a record of 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses at their stadium versus 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses as visitors over their last 30 matches. They arrive at this encounter following a defeat away to Monterrey (0-2). Over the last 10 matches across all competitions, Pumas has managed to secure 3 wins, 2 draws, and lost 5. Their defensive capability has also come under scrutiny, with goals conceded in 8 out of their last 10 fixtures, yet they have found the net in 8 of those games as well. Of 15 matches played, they only managed to recover the scoreline twice when conceding first.

Pumas were expected to exhibit greater decisiveness last season. Although they failed to qualify for the knockout rounds in either Apertura or Clausura, their technical edge could be decisive in returning home with valuable points. If they maintain their usual style of play, they should find it manageable to secure an important result at this early stage of a promising tournament.
