It’s do or die for the defending Liga MX champions. Santos Laguna enter Week 15 of the Apertura campaign with just 13 points and a minus-five goal differential.
A loss on Saturday will mathematically eliminate them from participating in the Liguilla.
Standing in the way is a heavily favored Tigres UANL side that sits comfortably in the league table. The club is fifth behind Leon, America, Toluca and Pumas UNAM. A victory over Santos will guarantee the club a playoff spot.

What They’re Saying
Santos Laguna defender Carlos Izquierdoz (via Esto): “One looks at Tigres’ roster and there are extremely talented names. There are quality players that can play really well. I think we all say the same thing when we face such a quality team, we have to be focused at all times to deal with what they can do.”
Santos Laguna manager Pako Ayestaran (via Esto): “We have a strong opponent in front of us, one that is riding a good run of form. This is a team that has a lot of balance, they're difficult to analyze and they have strong players on the wing. They know how to finish too, which is important in this competition.”
