Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Santos Laguna and Leon. The first-division clash scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET will be held at Estadio Corona in Torreon and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN Deportes.
Santos Laguna's Pedro Caixinha had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Univision): "If there's something I haven't forgotten and hasn't left my mind is the loss to Queretaro at home. We have to recuperate those points, wherever they may be. Those points they took away from us have to always be on our mind and we must get them back."
"We have to play well and win."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Leon's Mauro Boselli will look to push Santos Laguna's center-back pairing. The 29-year-old has three goals in six appearances and remains an aerial presence, winning six of his nine duels.
Santos Laguna's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Sanchez; Alanis, Izquierdoz, Fanjul, Hernandez; Rodriguez, Calderon, Salinas; Quintero, Renteria, Penuelas
Leon's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Yarbrough; Pineda, Sousa, Magallon, Martinez; Cardenas, Hernandez, Vazquez, Pena; Sabah, Boselli
