Last four matches Santos has been unable to beat Tigres

Santos Laguna

The team get a streak of two consecutive matches winning, as last one won 2-3 to get their first away victory, during the match the team score first a great goal of FW Daniel Emmanuel Ludueña which with a precise touch put the ball in the right superior angle where the GK will never reach it and then MF Walter "Lorito" score from a pass of Ludueña. Almost at the end of the first half San Luis was able to score to reduce the distance.

In second half Sebastian Abreu score to tie the match, but almost '16 minutes later Fernando Ortiz score a header from a pass of Ludueña to take the lead in the match and a great victory for Santos. Which boost their morale for the next games.

Despite the good streak santos have taken, the victory of Queretaro sends Santos to the last position of the porcentage table, which set on the alarms as if Queretaro lift their porcetage a little more will leave santos and their great fight to be relegated. The team pressure will be full until they can solve this, still the good news is the good moment that Ludueña has encounter and the comeback of MF Walter "Lorito" Jimenez who finally perform as wished.

Is ironic how the team is performing better now without two of their reinforcements as GK Oswaldo Sanchez and FW Vicente Matias Vuoso are out, it seems like if those where the ones with the bad luck. For this match the team will be on home where they have taken more points than on away. And here they have only allo a defeat which was against Chivas in their first match in home, in round 2. The team is finding the chemistry and the combinations to perform at a good level.

Injured:

GK Oswaldo Sanchez

FW Vicente Matias Vuoso

Tigres UANL

The team lost in home last match against Toluca (which seems to be recovering his power) in a match that their defence was sleep for the first minutes where Toluca was able to do what they please, MF Antonio Naelson score from outside the box and FW Vicente Sanchez show again his great quality when he put the goal pass to FW Diego de la Torre which score at pleasure. In this match Tigres missed MF Walter Gaitan and DF Fabian Cubero

The excellent defense of Toluca didn't allow Tigres to score, they allow some chances which where few but the ball didn't go inside, Tigres show lack of idea and show incapabilite of being able to open a close defense. FW Fransico "Kikin" Fonseca have a good chance to score but was unable to conver it as the ball hit the post. Tigres came from a two wins streak, but now have one defeat and will like it away to take their second victory.

In the overall the team seems really different from one of last tournament and is in the top five of the tournament, their best feature is the defense, but in last two matches the team have allow two goals in each one, still in the first one they score three, but in the second didn't.

The team is reaching their first objetive which is avoid relegation and sit above UNAM, Veracruz, Teocs, San Luis, Queretaro and Santos, and could start to luck for other things, they have a team with the players to do so.

Injured:

DF Mario Ruiz

Match:

The match looks very interesting two teams with good squads ready to perform. Tigres will focus on defense but not forget to attack and Santos is making good playmaking.

Prediction:

For match winner it is hard to determine, Santos on home are playing better and Tigres away from home aren't being something special but solid, so Santos 0 AH.
