The most recent match between Pumas and Santos was last October in the Apertura 2022, where the team from the Shire won by a resounding score of 5-1.

Santos: The locals will only have the absence of Eduardo Aguirre due to a direct expulsion in the last match against Tigres.

Pumas: Jorge Ruvalcaba will not be available due to a left knee contusion. Likewise, Dani Alves was not called up due to a family matter.

In the long history of meetings between Santos and Pumas, the balance favors the universitarios with 20 wins, compared to 17 for the laguneros. Only 13 draws have been recorded.

They've arrived! Both Pumas and Santos players have already arrived at the Corona Stadium for this matchday 2 game.

The venue for this match between Santos and Pumas is Corona Stadium, also known as Territorio Santos Modelo. This is a soccer stadium that is home to Santos de la Laguna and is located in Torreón, Coahuila. It has a capacity for 30 thousand spectators.

Eduardo Salvio: This Argentinean player, who arrived to reinforce Pumas, has been one of the best signings for the universitarios in the last few tournaments, as his undeniable talent has been key in rescuing results and continuing to add points. Toto' plays as a winger or right-sided midfielder and is very participative up front, both with assists and mid-range shots. In the last game against Juárez, he scored the goal that would mean the partial tie.

Carlos Acevedo: In the previous match against Tigres, Santos' defense did not look good at all, so this Mexican goalkeeper will have to be at his best tonight to prevent the same thing from happening today that happened against the University of Nuevo León. Acevedo has always been a goalkeeper with great qualities for coming out, cutting crosses and with great reflexes, so he is undoubtedly one of the players with the most weight on the field.

On the other hand, Pumas UNAM has already started a new cycle with Rafael Puente del Río at the helm of the first team. During the preseason, the blue and gold team played in the Sky Cup, but failed to advance after two draws, one defeat and one victory. Now, in this current competition, they want revenge and to forget the bitter pill that the Apertura 2022 left them, since in that tournament, they could not qualify for the playoffs after finishing in 16th place with 14 points. In their debut in the Clausura 2023, the universitarios managed to come from behind at home against Bravos de Juárez and ended up with the three points after a 2-1 victory.

The team from the Comarca Lagunera, led by Eduardo Fentanes, has regained a bit of prominence in the last two tournaments, but has not been able to achieve the longed-for championship. In the Apertura 2022, Santos entered the playoffs as third place in the table and had high expectations, but Toluca left them out of any aspirations in the quarterfinals. Now, once again, the Laguna team has another opportunity and wants to make its home advantage count in this competition and turn the page on the previous match against Tigres. With a resounding 3-0 win, the Nuevo León team won the match at the Corona Stadium and handed Santos de la Laguna their first defeat of the tournament.

We continue with Liga MX! Today is the second matchday of the 2023 Closing Tournament. On this Saturday night, as usual, we will have a match that promises to be attractive, as Santos will be playing their second match at home and will be facing Pumas, who are looking for their second victory in the tournament and a surprise away from home. Both teams owed a debt to their fans in the last tournament, so they want to settle the debt in this new opportunity to lift the highest trophy in Mexican football.

The Santos - Pumas match will be played at Corona TSM Stadium, in Torreon, Mexico. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:05 pm (ET).
