The Xolos Tijuana vs Santos match will be live on TV and online as Tijuana host Santos at the Estadio Caliente at 7:06 PM Pacific this Wednesday, August 22, 2018.
Diego Cocca is not having a good start of the season with Xolos, as his team has barely scraped five points out of five Liga MX matches. Scoring a measly four goals in five matches clearly indicates that Tijuana’s problems lie in its attack. Though the team from the border has allowed 7 goals, three of them came in last Sunday’s match against Toluca; Xolos actually have a decent defense.
Cocca needs to rally his team to face a Santos squad that has won 12 points so far, including an impressive 3-1 victory over the always dangerous Tigres last weekend (though that was Tigres gifting the game).
Xolos will need to shake things up, and somehow grab some of the good form they’ve experienced in the Copa MX (first place and nearly guaranteed a spot in the knockout rounds). A draw or loss against Santos could seriously hurt their playoff chances, and put Cocca near the cutting block.
Xolos vs Santos Prediction
Santos are on fire and have won four out of five matches this season. However, although Xolos are struggling, they tend to do well at home. Look for a contested match with a slight edge for Xolos: 2-1, though don’t be surprised if it ends in a draw.
