Sun Apr 13 22:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Santos and Querétaro Clash in Crucial Match: Playoff Hopes and Relegation Fears on the Line

**Torreón, Mexico** – This Sunday at 5 PM, Santos Laguna and Querétaro face off in a must-win game at the TSM stadium. Both teams enter with desperate needs: Querétaro fights to stay alive in the playoff race, while Santos aims to escape the bottom of the table and mitigate potential relegation consequences.

Querétaro, currently 15th with 14 points, needs a victory to reach 17 points and keep their playoff hopes alive. Further wins in the final two matches, combined with setbacks for other teams (Mazatlán, Pumas, Chivas, San Luis, and Atlas), are essential for their survival. A draw or loss effectively ends their season.

Santos, on the other hand, has endured a disastrous season, sitting last in the league. While relegation is not currently in play, their poor performance will result in significant fines next season due to their low points total (currently 17, aiming for a final total of 23). Even a win against Querétaro only guarantees escaping the bottom of the table *if* Puebla fails to gain points in their Saturday match against León. The game represents a final chance for Santos to salvage some pride before the end of a disappointing campaign.
