The Santos Laguna vs Monterrey quarterfinals match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Guerreros host Los Rayados at the Estadio TSM Corona this Saturday, December 1, 2018, at 7:00 PM Pacific.
Santos Laguna suffered a 1-0 loss against Monterrey away from home in the first-leg, but could easily go through to the semifinals. The Celestial Warriors just need a slim win by a goal to go through to the next round of the Liga MX playoffs and should be able to do that at home.
Salvador Reyes Jr. counts with a very impressive squad that includes Julio Furch, who scored 12 goals during the regular season. The midfield is also a strong component of Santos’ team with Osvaldo Martinez doing the creative work and “Gallito” Vazquez doing the defensive work. Los Guerreros had more total passes and more possession that Monterrey in the first-leg and could easily prevail in this match.
Monterrey managed to defeat Santos Laguna in the first-leg with a wonder goal by Rogelio Funes Mori and did not really look like the better side in that clash. Los Regios have a very well-balanced team like Santos Laguna, but do have a more solid backline led by Nicolas Sanchez and Jose Maria Basanta.
Diego Alonso may try and use a more conservative playing style especially away from home, which could be a risky but effective approach. Los Rayados have the advantage heading into this second-leg, but should be due for an extremely ardous task to get to the semifinals.
