Santos Laguna vs Puebla Match Preview
The first mission for the Puebla side in Torreón will be to obtain points by any means necessary. Secondly, if possible, their task will be to break an eleven-year drought at the Estadio Corona. Puebla's last win in the city was in the 20th century.
Both teams are virtually out of the playoff race, as the Santos are 15th with 14 points, same amount for Puebla, who despite the parity are one spot below Diego Cocca's side, due to goal difference.
Santos Laguna will be without many key players for the match, as goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez is out for the season due to a home accident, Darwin Quintero is suspended, José Antonio Olvera and Christian Benítez are doubtful due to their various bumps and bruises, and Fernando Arce remains out for the rest of the Clausura 2011 campaign.
Puebla report a full squad for the match at hand. Santos Laguna has won the last two matches between these two sides, the last of which was a 1-0 win for Santos at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc in Puebla last October.
