Santos Laguna and Puebla FC Clash in Crucial Liga MX Showdown

TORREÓN, Mexico — Santos Laguna and Puebla FC will face off in a high-stakes Liga MX match on Monday, February 3, 2025, at the TSM Corona Stadium. Both teams are desperate for their first wins of the season, with Santos Laguna sitting at the bottom of the table with zero points and Puebla FC just above them with two points.

Santos Laguna, under manager Fernando Ortiz, has struggled immensely this season, losing all four of their opening matches. The team has scored only two goals while conceding seven, highlighting their offensive and defensive woes. Their most recent defeat, a 0-1 loss to FC Juárez, further deepened their crisis. Ortiz’s high-pressing tactics have yet to yield results, and the team’s confidence appears to be at an all-time low.

Puebla FC, managed by Pablo Guede, has also had a rocky start, with two draws and two losses in their first four matches. Despite showing resilience in away games, Puebla’s inability to convert chances into goals has been a recurring issue. Their last match ended in a 0-1 home loss to Mazatlán FC, underscoring their struggles in front of goal.

The two teams last met in the Clausura 2024, with Puebla securing a narrow 1-0 victory. Historically, Santos Laguna has had the upper hand, winning three of their last five encounters. However, their current form suggests a tightly contested match, with both sides eager to turn their seasons around.

Santos Laguna’s home record has been disappointing, with their only home match this season ending in defeat. Puebla, on the other hand, has remained unbeaten in their away fixtures, albeit with two draws. This match could prove pivotal for both teams as they seek to climb the Liga MX standings.

Fans can expect an intense battle as Santos Laguna looks to capitalize on home advantage, while Puebla FC aims to exploit their opponent’s defensive vulnerabilities. The match kicks off at 17:00 local time and will be broadcast live on VIX, with live updates available on VAVEL.com.
