In an exciting Liga MX Apertura clash, Club América will face Santos Laguna on Saturday night. This matchup features two teams with contrasting fortunes this season. Club América is currently thriving at the top of the league while Santos Laguna struggles to find their footing.
Match Overview
Club América, known as Las Águilas, has been impressive this season. Led by U.S. men’s national team winger Alex Zendejas and Uruguay international Brian Rodriguez, both are contributions to their offensive play. Zendejas has netted five goals, while Rodriguez has provided five assists.
As of now, Club América sits third in the Liga MX standings, just one point behind leaders Toluca. With just one loss in their last eleven matches, they have shown resilience, quickly bouncing back from a setback against Chivas.
Santos Laguna’s Struggles
On the other hand, Santos Laguna, also known as los Guerreros, is having a challenging season. They’ve only recorded one victory in their last seven games and scored just 13 goals across eleven matches. This places them near the bottom of the scoring chart, with only four teams managing fewer goals.
Manager Francisco has found it difficult in Mexico after spending 14 years managing in Spain’s top three tiers. Despite struggling, Santos still has time to improve and aim for a spot in the Liguilla, the playoff for the league championship.
