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.

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.
