As we size up the impending Liga MX Clausura matchup between Santos Laguna and Club Tijuana, we really have to strap in and break down some hard facts. Let's start with the recent history between these two clubs. It's a seesaw affair, with each team having a couple of wins and draws. One could almost say the past offers little clarity about the future, much like my high school years.
It's also key to note the regular season records that sparkle like a rotten tomato in the summer sun. Club Tijuana has a record which, let's be brutally honest, isn't brilliant, but looks Oscar-worthy compared to Santos Laguna's performance. I've seen friendlier numbers on a tax return.
Yet what's a match prediction without considering the most recent string of results, and oh, aren't they just bundles of fun? For Club Tijuana, it's a bit like a rollercoaster - some great highs, some deep lows. Meanwhile, Santos Laguna appear to have been stuck on the kiddie carousel, dizzy from the repetition of defeat.
When it comes down to it, the sands of prediction can be as elusive as that last chip stuck at the bottom of the can. Based on the facts we've diligently dissected, though, it seems our best bet here... Club Tijuana.
