The Veracruz vs Santos Laguna game will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Tiburones Rojos host Los Guerreros at the Estadio Luis “Pirata” Fuente this Friday, March 8, at 5:00 PM Pacific.
Veracruz is currently in 17th place just three points and is on the cusp of relegation, being one of the worst teams in the 2019 Clausura. However, the port city team still has some talented players like young goalkeeper Sebastian Jurado and striker Cristian “Polaco” Menendez.
Jurado has been a revelation this season, is getting attention from the Mexico national team and by some critics has been the best shot-stopper in the league. Los Escualos have only scored two goals this season and both have been scored by Colin Kazim-Richards, but the English striker will miss this game due to a suspension.
Santos Laguna had a comfortable 2-0 away win against the New York Red Bulls in the CCL during the week and will now try and bounce back in league play. The Celestial Warriors are coming off a 3-0 away loss against Leon, but are the favorites to win in this clash. Los Guerreros are still currently in seventh place with 14 points and will look to stay in the top eight after the weekend.
With the second-leg of that CCL matchup coming up, manager Salvador Reyes Jr. may rest some key players. The team from Torreon still has some solid bench options like Deinner Quinones and Bryan Garnica that may get the nod at the Luis “Pirata” Fuente.
Veracruz vs Santos Laguna Prediction
FutnSoccer predicts a 2-1 win for Santos Laguna as Veracruz is on a pitiful 19-game winless streak in league play and should be due for a very tough match.
