Global Football Preview: Liga MX Femenil - Week 9

SANTOS LAGUNA, Mexico (Interstat) — A dominant Tigres UANL Femenil side, riding a powerful start to the Clausura 2026 season, visits a struggling Santos Laguna Femenil squad in a Liga MX Femenil matchup on Saturday.

The game is scheduled for March 14 at Estadio Nuevo Corona in Torreón.

Tigres (8-1-1) arrives as the overwhelming favorite. Statistical models underscore their formidable form. Interstat’s ELO system gives Tigres a 90.30% probability to win, while its game simulator projects a 3-0 victory for the visitors.

The recent trajectory of both clubs supports those projections. Tigres’ only league loss this season was a 3-2 defeat to Pachuca on Aug. 15, 2025. They have since reeled off convincing victories, including a 4-0 win at Monterrey and a 2-1 result against Puebla in November. Their most recent outing was a high-scoring 5-2 defeat of Pachuca on Feb. 28, demonstrating their attacking prowess.

Santos Laguna (2-3-5) has found consistent results hard to secure. The team has not won in its last three matches, with its most recent being a 0-0 draw at Guadalajara on Dec. 7, 2025. Defensive stability has been an issue; Santos has conceded three or more goals in four of its ten season matches.

The head-to-head history further favors Tigres. In their last meeting on July 28, 2025, Tigres secured a 2-0 home victory over Santos.

Saturday’s contest presents a classic clash between a title contender and a team seeking to climb the table. Tigres will look to maintain its offensive momentum and secure another vital three points. Santos Laguna, playing at home, aims to disrupt Tigres’ rhythm and produce a defensive performance strong enough to spring an upset.

Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. local time.
