Two clubs in the top half of the Liga MX table will do battle today in a league match between Santos Laguna and Pachuca. The first-division clash scheduled for 9 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Corona in Torreón. Information on how and where to stream the match can be found here.
Pachuca enter the weekend riding a modest three-match unbeaten streak. Following a head-scratching 1-0 loss to Atlante at home in Week 7, Pachuca responded with a pair of victories and a scoreless draw. Even better, it’s been 334 minutes since they’ve last conceded a goal.
That streak will be put to the test in Week 11.
Santos Laguna’s 16 goals this season is the third best total in Liga MX, only trailing that of Toluca and Cruz Azul (each with 18). The results haven’t come with it, but the club is fresh off a 4-2 victory over America in the Azteca. Their high-octane attack will look to put pressure on the Tuzos.
Will Pachuca be able to withstand it and extend their modest unbeaten streak to four, or will Santos Laguna end a pair of streaks in the Estadio Corona?
