Club America will welcome Santos Laguna to Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in the Liga MX Apertura on Saturday. The hosts have four wins in the league and are in 10th place in the standings. Laguna have just two wins to their name and are at the bottom of the table.
America are winless in their last three league outings and were held to a 1-1 draw by Leon earlier this month. They conceded in stoppage time of the first half and Rodrigo Aguirre equalized for them in the 78th minute.
The visitors suffered their ninth loss of the league campaign in their previous outing, losing 2-0 at home against Juarez. They failed to score for the fifth time this season in that loss and will look to improve upon that record.

Club America vs Santos Laguna Prediction
Águilas are winless in their last three league outings, conceding one goal apiece in these games. Though they are unbeaten in their last eight games in this fixture, four games have ended in draws. They have not kept a clean sheet against the visitors since 2019.
They have a lengthy absentee list for this match as Sebastián Cáceres, Néstor Araujo, Álvaro Fidalgo, Richard Sánchez, and Ramón Juárez are nursing injuries.
Laguneros have lost three of their last four games, conceding seven goals while scoring just thrice. They have won just one of their last 15 away games in Liga MX, suffering 11 losses. They have won just one of their last 12 meetings against the capital club and might struggle here.
While both teams have seen a drop in form recently, considering the Águilas' dominance in this fixture and better home record, the capital club should be able to eke out a narrow win.
