Santos Laguna

The embattled Tijuana Xolos have a prime opportunity to snap their 13-game winless streak when they welcome Santos Laguna to the Estadio Caliente on Friday night. The Border City Dogs have been flirting with victory for several weeks now but have consistently failed to get over the hump, exemplified by their dramatic 3-3 draw against Pumas UNAM last weekend. Manager Miguel Herrera has steadfastly refused to throw in the towel despite his side’s struggles.

The Tijuana Xolos are in desperate need of a win as they prepare to host Santos Laguna in a crucial Liga MX Clausura clash on Friday night. The Border City Dogs have gone a staggering 13 games without a victory, a drought that stretches back to last season. Despite their struggles, there is a glimmer of hope for Miguel Herrera’s side. They remain unbeaten in their last four outings, with their last three points coming courtesy of a hat-trick of penalty kicks from talismanic captain Christian Rivera in a 3-3 draw against Pumas UNAM.
