Match Preview
Cruz Azul is undefeated, currently in seventh place with 12 points but has not won a game in its last three matches. La Maquina has a league-leading six draws in the competition and will be facing Santos Laguna, who has five draws in the tournament. The latest result for the Mexico City team was an uneventful scoreless draw against Puebla away from home.
Cruz Azul has one of the most promising attacks in the Liga MX with players like Angel Mena, Felipe Mora and Edgar Mendez but it has not shown up in the last couple of weeks. Los Celestes need to start picking up wins as the Apertura has proven to be very competitive and the consistent ties may lead to missing out on the playoffs.
Santos Laguna has been disappointing so far in the Liga MX Apertura 2017, currently in 14th place with eight points. Los Guerreros only have one win, coming against Leon away from home but have five draws to go along with that lone victory. The team has been lacking in the midfield with Osvaldo Martinez not playing at the level that he was in the Clausura 2017.
Julio Furch has been the main man in attack with four goals so far and will look to continue his good form. This game seems like a deadlock heading into it and is likely to end with no winner after the 90 minutes.
