Santos Laguna travel to face Atlético San Luis on Sunday 11 October looking to make it four wins in a row. The Liga MX Apertura match, the 11th of the season, kicks off at 5pm local time at the Estadio Libertad Financiera.
The team from Torreón is in high spirits after a run of victories over Pachuca, Toluca, and FC Juárez. Their last outing was a narrow 1-0 home win against Pachuca, sealed by a Francisco Villalba penalty in first-half stoppage time. This positive form stands in contrast to their overall league standing, where they currently sit 16th with 10 points from 10 games.
Their opponents, Atlético San Luis, are 13th and have had mixed recent results. They won their last match 3-1 against Necaxa but were beaten 3-0 by Guadalajara before that and managed a notable away win at Monterrey. Santos's manager, with no quotes available for this preview, must decide whether to stick with the 3-4-3 shape used against Pachuca, featuring Carlos Acevedo in goal and Ezequiel Bullaude leading the line. Bullaude is the team's top scorer this season with three goals.
The key for the visitors will be maintaining the defensive solidity shown recently, having conceded just three goals during this three-match winning streak. Another victory would see them close in on the playoff spots. Fans can check the team's full schedule on our fixtures page and the usual lineup in the squad section. The match is set for October 11th.
