Prediction
Querétaro have gone nine consecutive away matches without a defeat, which reflects their consistency on the road. They have also won five of their last six away matches, and this season they have four away wins and no away defeats. That sustained run and those statistics support a bet on Querétaro not to lose, priced at 1.53*.
Total Goals Prediction
In all 11 of Santos Laguna's last home matches, Total Goals - Under 3.5 has consistently come in. The hosts average just 0.6 goals per home game this season, and 0.75 across their last 10 home matches. Querétaro's defence away from home is equally solid, conceding an average of 0.4 goals per away game this season. Given these figures, the bet on Total Goals - Under 3.5 at 1.42* looks justified.
Corners Prediction
Querétaro have taken more than 4.5 corners in 11 of their last 12 head-to-head meetings against Santos Laguna. Such a consistent trend over a large sample of head-to-head matches points to a high probability of the pattern repeating. Querétaro Team Total Corners - Over 4.5 is priced at 1.72*.
Risky Bet
Querétaro have won 5 of their last 6 away matches, which points to strong current form on the road. In the league this season they are unbeaten away from home, with four wins and one draw. Santos Laguna, however, do not lose at home very often, which raises the risk level. Given the trend and the recent statistics, a Querétaro win at 2.68* looks like an interesting high-risk option.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely outcomes are 0-1 (14.63%), 1-0 (13.8%) and 0-0 (13.19%). The highest probability goes to a narrow away win, though the differences between the options are small, suggesting an even contest with low scoring.
*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Two motivated sides meet here: Santos Laguna are clinging to the play-off places on the back of a strong run at home, but Querétaro's away record this season is impressive - they have gone nine consecutive matches on the road without defeat. The visitors have every reason to at least avoid losing, given that they have the best defence among the top sides in the league and have been consistent against opponents of all levels even away from home. The main prediction is Querétaro not to lose.
