The match between Santos Laguna and Rayos del Necaxa will be held at the Estadio Corona on Wednesday night. The laguneros seek to take advantage of their good moment to secure their ticket to the next phase.
Santos is currently ranked 6th in the general classification, while Aguascalientes is ranked 11th. However, a hard-fought match is expected, as seen in Rayos' recent visit to TSM in the Liga MX, which was the laguneros' first victory on their home field.
Santos Laguna announced that the match against Pachuca on matchday 15 of the Torneo Apertura 2017 will be held at Estadio Corona del Territorio Santos Modelo, changing the schedule to 19:15 hours.
In the Copa, things are going well for Robert Dante Siboldi's team. They finished as leaders of Group 7 with 3 wins, 1 loss, and no draws, accumulating a total of 9 points in the series against Chivas del Guadalajara, who finished second, and Bravos de Juárez.
It is expected that the strategist will rotate his lineup to give rest to some players, while others will help strengthen the formation. However, a good bench will be available if necessary.
Necaxa's team made it to this stage as one of the best second-place teams, after facing Monarcas Morelia and Mineros de Zacatecas in Group 9, and obtaining 7 points from 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss.
This match will take place at 19:00 hours at Estadio Corona, which expects another good turnout to witness this game, which will be reminiscent of the one they had last week, ending with an albiverde victory that broke the negative streak at home.
Dante Siboldi seeks to take advantage of the positive elements from the team's previous victory against Querétaro in the Liga, which puts them in contention for a spot in the Liguilla zone.
All of this has changed the albiverde's perspective, as they were almost written off in the Liga MX.
On the other hand, Ignacio Ambriz aims to learn from the mistakes made in that match, with the possibility of making changes in his lineup to achieve a good result.
