Mazatlan will only make its home debut tonight, as it did not have the opportunity to play on the first date due to the suspension of the game because of violence in Sinaloa.

Santos is still looking for an offensive reinforcement from abroad and this week Mudo Aguirre underwent surgery, who will not see action tonight.

Carlos Acevedo is synonymous with guarantee under the three posts and he has to start with great performances to make a difference and thus be contemplated for the generational change that the Mexican National Team must have in the framework of the 2026 World Cup.

He decided to stay and renew his contract with the Cañoneros, so Nicolas Benedetti has to prove that he is worth what the board paid to sign him permanently and start making a difference in the end zone, the more he has contact with the ball, the greater the volume of play of his team.

The first two dates of the championship have seen two totally opposite teams, as on the first date they lost by a landslide against Tigres, but last week they scored against Pumas. They will recover Eduardo Aguirre from his suspension and they have to improve in the lower zone where they have had many spaces that their opponents have been able to exploit.

After not being able to play the first date of the championship due to the violence in the state and in the last week they lost as visitors against Rojinegros del Atlas, the Cañoneros del Mazatlán will have to be strong at home and not let points slip away to think about qualifying for their first playoffs in the history of Mexican soccer.

The Mazatlan vs Santos Laguna match will be played at the Kraken Stadium, in Mazatlan, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 22:00 pm ET.
