Santos Laguna's winless streak hits nine as relegation fears grow
Santos Laguna continues without a victory in the Liga MX Clausura 2026, having played nine matches. The team occupies the last position in the table with only two points, approaching their worst-ever performance in a short tournament. Their next challenge comes against Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles in Round 10.
Santos Laguna's struggles have intensified this season. After seven defeats and two draws, they have collected only one point from the first seven matchdays. No victories in nine rounds leave them last in the league, two points behind 15th-placed Tijuana.
Tijuana's form has been slightly better, though still inconsistent. They have earned nine points from one win, six draws, and two losses. Despite their own difficulties, they enter the match in a more stable position than their opponents.
The upcoming fixture will receive limited broadcast coverage. League officials have restricted visibility due to both teams' poor rankings. This decision reflects their current standing in the competition.
Santos Laguna risks breaking their record for the fewest points in a short tournament. A loss or draw against Tijuana would extend their winless streak to ten matches. Meanwhile, Tijuana aims to secure points and climb away from the relegation zone.
