In one of the most interesting games of the weekend, Club America will receive Santos Laguna at the Estadio Azteca this Saturday, April 28, 2018 (7:00 PM Pacific). Both sides have already qualified into the playoffs but need a win to hold onto one the top four seeds.
Club America currently sits in 5th place with 26 points and have been unable to win in the past three league games. The team coached by Miguel ‘Piojo’ Herrera has been marred by injuries but the team should have close to a full squad on Saturday night. With a loss, the ‘aguilas’ will remain in 5th place, a tie can potentially take them to 4th, and a win can push them all the way to the 2nd placed seed.
Santos Laguna has been phenomenal this season, especially considering they were not one of the favorite teams prior to the start of the season. The team coached by Robert Siboldi is in 2nd place with 29 points led by their league-leading 29 points. Under the hand of forward Djaniny Tavares, the ‘laguneros’ will need a win to conserve their place in the standings, where anything else could pull them as far down as 4th place.
America vs Santos Laguna Prediction
The Club America vs Santos Laguna Week 17 match will be a very close match as it is between two of the most dominant teams in the competition. While America has the home field advantage, they have been unable to win the previous five matches (including CONCACAF Champions League), and have been poor on offense scoring only four times in those. Santos has struggled defensively at times, therefore this game call for a close contest. FutnSoccer predicts that there will be a tie at the Azteca stadium with a final 1-1 score.
