Santos Laguna is ready to host Cruz Azul in Matchday 2 of the Liga MX Apertura 2021. This game will be held at the Nuevo Corona Stadium on August 1 at 7:00 PM (ET). For now, the Liga MX table continues with little movement, but after Matchday 2 things will start to change. As of today, more than 11 teams in the table have no wins, only losses and draws.
The home team, Santos Laguna, conquered the first victory of the season 3-0 against Necaxa, but that victory was on the road. The goals of that game were shared between Diego Valdés, Alberto Ocejo and Juan Ferney Otero. Last season, during the Apertura, the Laguneros lost in the quarterfinals 6-3 (Aggregate) against Monterrey.
Cruz Azul is looking for theirfirst victory of the season after losing the first game 1-0 in the 2021 Apertura of the Liga MX against Mazatlán at home. That loss was painful, especially after Cruz Azul won two games against Mazatlán last season. But there are still many games ahead to collect points.
