Santos Laguna vs Pachuca Match Preview
In Torreón, Santos Laguna will match up against a growing Pachuca squad who have seen their generational shift rebuild that squad much faster than they would have expected.
Pablo Marini's team will march into the new Estadio Corona with a fair bit more confidence than the usual visitor, as their last away match was a resounding 2-0 victory over América in the season opener.
Santos will try to revert last week's form, a disappointing performance that saw them lose to Pumas at University City. With Panama defender Felipe Baloy playing for his national team at the Copa Centroamericana, there will be a sizable gap in the green and white's back line.
Pachuca report no injuries or suspensions, so there will be no excuses for failing to shore up their back line against the formidable duo of Christian Benitez and Carlos Quintero, the Santos strikers who have been on point for quite some time.
