Santos Laguna and Necaxa are set for a Liga MX meeting on Sunday, November 1, at Estadio TSM Corona, with the probable lineups already circulating for Jornada 15. Santos will receive Necaxa at 17:00 hora de México, and the team sheets point to a match both sides need after recent setbacks.
Santos comes in after a 1-4 loss to Tijuana, even though it has two wins in its last three matches. Necaxa arrives from a 1-1 draw with FC Juárez and has one draw and two losses across its last three games, which makes the selection for this trip feel more important than a routine league listing.
That is why Carlos Acevedo is drawing attention in Santos Laguna’s probable XI. The home side is listed in a 5-4-1 shape with Renato Manuel Alves Paiva on the bench, while Necaxa is projected in a 4-1-4-1 under Juan Reynoso. Those are still probable formations, not locked-in lineups, and that distinction matters because the match sheet frames the game one way while the body of the team note leaves room for change before kickoff.
The published groups also include 10 Santos Laguna substitutes and 10 Necaxa substitutes, which gives both coaches options if the match opens up or tightens early. Javier Orantes appears in Necaxa’s probable lineup as well, keeping the focus on a fixture that is already defined by its timing, its venue and the uncertainty that still hangs over the final selections.
For readers tracking Jornada 15, the next checkpoint is simple: the confirmation comes on the field at Estadio TSM Corona at 17:00 hora de México. Until then, the lineups remain the most useful guide to how Santos Laguna and Necaxa are likely to approach a game they both need to steady.
