Match Preview
The table says this should not be close. Queretaro start the night in fourth place with 20 points, level with third place Toluca and one point behind leaders Club America and Atlas.
Queretaro also hold a game in hand. Their Jornada 7 match against Monterrey was postponed and will now be played on Saturday, November 14, which gives them an extra match to protect their position.
Santos Laguna are 14th with 13 points, seven behind Queretaro. But form has flipped the fixture: the hosts are suddenly the side nobody in the league wants to face.
Eighth place, the last Liguilla spot, currently sits on 16 points. Santos Laguna start the night three points below that line, with five matches left to play after this one.
There is no safety net underneath them. The Apertura 2026 has no Play-In round, so only the top eight clubs advance directly to the Liguilla quarterfinals.
The most recent meeting between the clubs finished level. Queretaro and Santos Laguna drew 2-2 at Estadio La Corregidora in February 2026, with all four goals scored in the first half.
The last meeting in Torreon went the other way. Santos Laguna won 3-1 at home in Apertura 2025, and in short tournaments they have won 14 of the 23 meetings on this ground, with four draws.
Santos Laguna are coached by Renato Paiva, in his first tournament with the club. Queretaro are led by Esteban Gonzalez, whose side has been built from the back all season.
Recent Form
League matches only. Santos Laguna have won four in a row: a 1-0 loss at Cruz Azul, a 2-1 home win over FC Juarez, a 3-2 win at Toluca, a 1-0 home win over Pachuca and a 2-1 win at Atletico San Luis.
The turnaround is stark. Santos Laguna went winless through their first seven matches, with five straight defeats to open the tournament, and they have scored in every match of this winning run.
Home form has turned with everything else. Santos Laguna lost their first two home matches of the tournament, but they have won their last two at Estadio TSM Corona, against FC Juarez and Pachuca.
The face of the run is a 20 year old forward. Tahiel Jimenez scored both goals in the comeback win at Atletico San Luis last weekend, a header before halftime and the winner in the second half.
Queretaro are unbeaten in five: a 3-1 win at Atlas, a 1-0 win at Tijuana, a 1-1 home draw with Leon, a 2-0 win at Chivas de Guadalajara and a 2-0 home win over Atlante.
The run is built on defense. Queretaro have conceded eight goals in ten matches, the fewest in the league, and only one goal across their last four matches.
They travel well, too. Queretaro are unbeaten away from home all tournament, with four wins and a draw on the road, and thirteen of their 20 points have come away from Estadio La Corregidora.
Team News
Santos Laguna are without Lucas Di Yorio. The forward underwent tibia surgery in August after an injury in the Leagues Cup, and any return would come in the final rounds of the regular season at the earliest.
No other confirmed absence has been reported for the hosts. Santos Laguna also have no suspensions to serve on Saturday, so Renato Paiva picks from an otherwise settled squad.
Queretaro’s team news is quieter still. No confirmed injury absence or suspension has been reported for the visitors ahead of the trip to Torreon.
Key Storylines
Four straight against five unbeaten. Something has to give in Torreon. Santos Laguna’s four wins have all come in the last four rounds, while Queretaro have not lost since Jornada 5, a 2-1 home defeat to Toluca on August 21.
The best defense meets the form team. Queretaro have conceded eight goals all tournament. Santos Laguna have scored eight goals across their four straight wins, with Ezequiel Bullaude on three league goals and Tahiel Jimenez fresh from scoring twice last weekend.
Santiago Homenchenko drives Queretaro. Homenchenko is Queretaro’s top scorer with five league goals, and he converted a penalty in the Jornada 11 win over Atlante. He also scored in the 2-2 draw between these clubs in February.
Points are worth more at the top. A win takes Queretaro to 23 points and, subject to the rest of the weekend’s results, could lift them into first place. A win takes Santos Laguna to 16 points, level with the current eighth place mark.
What comes next for Santos Laguna and Queretaro?
Queretaro are back on the road on Tuesday, October 20, away to Atletico San Luis, while Santos Laguna stay home to host Pumas UNAM on Wednesday, October 21. Both clubs go straight into Jornada 13 with little recovery time.
