Match Preview
The Apertura 2026 regular season has no Play-In round. Only the top eight clubs reach the Liguilla quarterfinals.
Santos Laguna are eighth with 22 points from 15 matches, with seven wins, one draw and seven defeats. They have scored 21 goals and conceded 20.
Tijuana and Leon also hold 22 points, so Santos Laguna sit on the cut line with no margin for a slip.
A win would move Santos Laguna to 25 points. They close the regular season at home to Leon on Saturday, November 21, 2026, in a direct meeting between two of the tied clubs.
Atlante are 16th with 14 points from 15 matches, with three wins, five draws and seven defeats. They have scored 16 goals and conceded 24.
Atlante are already eliminated. Their maximum total is 20 points, below the current eighth place line of 22 points, so their last two matches are about pride and form.

Team News
Diego Gonzalez remains out for Santos Laguna. The club reported a grade 3 sprain of his left ankle, with an estimated recovery time of eight to ten weeks.
Gonzalez suffered the injury late in the 4-1 defeat at Tijuana on October 25, 2026. The recovery estimate rules him out of Friday’s match and the rest of the regular season.
No new Atlante absence has been confirmed, and no other new injury or suspension has been confirmed for either squad this week.
Predicted lineups are omitted for this article. The available lineup projections for the two clubs do not agree closely enough to publish.
Key Storylines
Santos Laguna have won seven of their last eight league matches. That run turned a season that looked lost in September into a place inside the top eight.
Tahiel Jimenez remains the Santos Laguna danger man. The 20-year-old scored five goals in two October matches: a brace at Atletico de San Luis and a hat trick against Queretaro.
Atlante need a home lift at Estadio Banorte. Atlante have one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five home matches, and they lost their last two at home.
Head to Head
The clubs last met in Liga MX in April 2014, when Santos Laguna beat Atlante 4-3 in Torreon in the Clausura 2014.
Atlante spent 12 years outside the top flight before returning this season, so Friday is the first league meeting between the clubs since 2014.
Prediction
Santos Laguna arrive in stronger form with a quarterfinal place on the line, while Atlante have lost four of their last five. Prediction: Atlante 1-2 Santos Laguna.
