Cruz Azul Win

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Cruz Azul win or draw

Our top tip for this match is to bet Cruz Azul to win or draw on the Double Chance market.

While it is tough to go away from home and pick up a positive result like a win or a draw, we have seen through recent form and season statistics that Cruz Azul has what it takes to accomplish that task. And the fact that Cruz Azul only needs to avoid defeat makes it a more achievable result.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

From what they have shown thus far this season, Santos Laguna and Cruz Azul both tend to play quite defensive styles and like to keep things tight in midfield.

As a result, we predict the total going under 2.5 goals to be the most attractive betting option for this upcoming match.
