Get ready for an exciting Liga MX clash as Santos Laguna host Querétaro at Estadio Nuevo Corona. The match is set for 19:00 on Saturday, 17 October, and we’ve got all the insights you need to make informed bets.
Santos Laguna are coming off a solid 2-1 away win against Atlético San Luis, marking their fourth consecutive victory. With Tahiel Jimenez netting both goals and eight shots on target, Renato Paiva’s side seems in good form. However, their recent record shows 4 wins, 5 losses, and 1 draw in the last 10 games, averaging 1.0 goals per match.
On the other hand, Querétaro have been on a roll, winning three straight away games. Their latest was a 2-0 home victory over Atlante, with Santiago Homenchenko and Denilson Munoz scoring. They boast an impressive record of 6 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws in their last 10 outings, averaging 1.5 goals. This form makes them a dangerous opponent.
Looking at head-to-head history, the last meeting ended in a 2-2 draw. Over the past 10 encounters, Querétaro has 4 wins, Santos Laguna has 3, and there have been 3 draws. Notably, Querétaro has covered the +0.25 Asian Handicap line in 9 consecutive away games, which is a strong indicator.
Our main prediction backs Querétaro at -156 on the Asian Handicap +0.25. This line has been covered in 16 of their last 20 games, and Santos Laguna has struggled to cover the -0.25 line recently, failing in 13 of their last 20 matches. The odds suggest a 61% chance of success, but our research puts the actual probability between 65-70%, making it a confident bet.
For player props, keep an eye on Enzo Giménez of Querétaro, who is a value pick for shots on target at -143. Santiago Homenchenko, with three goals in his last five games, is a solid anytime goalscorer bet at +290.
Corners-wise, Querétaro has covered the 4.5 corners line in three straight games, and Santos has conceded over 4.5 corners in their last five. We like Querétaro to cover the team corners line at -152.
The confirmed lineups are in: Santos Laguna goes with a 3-4-3 formation featuring Carlos Acevedo in goal, while Querétaro opts for a 4-2-3-1 with Guillermo Allison between the posts. Key players like Ezequiel Bullaude for Santos and Santiago Homenchenko for Querétaro are set to play crucial roles.
In terms of odds, Santos Laguna are slight favorites at +112, but Querétaro at +195 offers great value. The draw is also available, and if you prefer a less risky option, Draw No Bet has Santos at -182 or Querétaro at +114.
