This Wednesday, July 26, 2017 (5:00 PM Pacific) Santos Laguna will play Chivas of Guadalajara at the Estadio Corona TSM for a match in week 1 of the Copa MX. Both teams are set to be contenders in the Liga MX and should produce an exciting clash here.
Santos Laguna is coming off a disappointing 2-2 draw against newly promoted Lobos BUAP in the first round of Liga MX play in the Apertura 2017. Osvaldo Martinez and Julio Furch, who were vital components of the team in the Clausura 2017, scored the goals in that game against Lobos. It is unclear what lineup Jose Manuel de la Torre will bring out for this game but it should be a strong one with a deep and versatile squad at his disposal.
It will be interesting to see if the 20-year-old striker Ronaldo Cisneros gets a chance to play in this game along with other youngsters on the team. The match should be a great test for Santos Laguna in this competition and it should be a game that Los Guerreros should be able to win especially with the home-field advantage.
Chivas currently has a dismantled squad with several key absences like Alan Pulido, Oswaldo Alanis and Jose Juan Vazquez. The players who were playing in the Gold Cup like Orbelin Pineda and Rodolfo Pizarro are set to return to action but are highly unlikely to be used in this game.
Matias Almeyda is likely to use several youngsters for this game like Angel Lopez or Michelle Benitez but Chivas should still be able to produce a hard-fought encounter. The game should be one of the more interesting encounters in this round of Copa MX play and should produce a few goals.
