Analysis:

Free Soccer Play from Doc’s Sports. Liga MX Take Guadalajara -135 over Santos (10 p.m. EST, Sunday August 10) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time – a DRAW is a loser here) As of this writing, Santos has been eliminated from Leagues Cup action, while Chivas will be soon. So this match is likely to take place on Sunday. Guadalajara is the only side in the Liga that has played two matches so far, so Santos is ahead of them on the table but Chivas can take a big leap over them with three points today and start to make their inevitable move up the table. Santos has looked bad lately and this side is a strong candidate to finish at the bottom of the table. They have a four-match losing streak heading into the final meaningless match of Leagues Cup. Guadalajara hasn’t seen great results lately, but they have faced a stronger slate of opponents and they have performed much better than their counterparts here on Sunday. Chivas won’t be happy with anything but three points in this match. Chivas have taken points in nine of ten meetings, and they won decisively in their last visit to Santos. We see another one- sided match here. Read More Read Less
