After the international distractions of the last week, Mexican football fans turn their attentions to domestic league action as Liga MX swings back into life for week 13 of the Apertura. Tigres look to extend their lead at the top of the standings while reigning champs Santos Laguna and Dorados look to avoid spending the entire first half of the season propping up the league.
Games on Friday 16th October
Veracruz vs Santos Laguna - 2030 PM
Santos Laguna must be wondering what they have to do to get their season on track and regain some of the form that took them to the title last year. A match against an upward moving Veracruz could be the last thing that they need at the moment. Veracruz need to get the three points in order to ensure that they remain in contention for the post-season places.

Leon lost 4-0 in their last match to Monterrey and, having conceded 23 goals already this season, will be hoping to stop the rot at the back and claim a win that would see them leapfrog their opponents into first place.
