The Caliente stadium, in the beautiful touristic city named the local team, will be the stage for the match between Tijuana and Pachuca. The hosts are going through a moment of instability in the season, with only one victory in eight games and having lost the last two matches in Liga MX.
Pachuca, Sunday’s opponent, continues to fight for the top positions (it is currently fourth in the league) but suffered a setback in the last round when Toluca scored at the last minutes at home and won.
Despite fighting for different goals, Tijuana and Pachuca are teams that are very dear to their fans, which will certainly make this game a great Liga MX spectacle.

Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Tijuana?
Even after 8 national league games, the Tijuana coach still hasn’t found the best team. Many players have entered and left the starting lineup, creating a difficult environment and a notable lack of chemistry, as the coach tries to find the right formula.
Tijuana’s last – and only – victory in the current season was against San Luís, by 1-0, on February 11th. Xolos’ chances of victory revolve around a safe match between defenders Nicolás Dias and Lisandro López, as well as midfielder Fernando Valenzuela, who is the team’s leader in key passes.
In the beautiful Caliente stadium, Tijuana will have to assert its command of the field to surprise Pachuca – champion of the last edition of the Apertura Tournament.
Why Bet on Pachuca?
Pachuca lost to Toluca in the last round, but the players know that there is not much time left to regret it: the team, which was the leader, is now in 4th place in Liga MX.
Pachuca encountered more difficulties than anyone imagined at the start of the season. In the 8 games played the champion of the Apertura Tournament lost twice and drew once, failing to win important points to remain among the first placed.
Against Toluca, Pachuca conceded goals at the beginning and end of the game, showing in addition to a lack of concentration, a little underperformance in the physical department. Without their main goalscorer, as Ibañez went to Tigres, the team is working all gears to supply the goals and it’s already having its toll.
Midfielder Luís Chávez is the main player of the team, and his poor performance in the last game was directly related to the defeat against Toluca.
Final Betting Analysis: Tijuana vs. Pachuca
Tijuana and Pachuca will certainly put on a match worthy of the fans’ ticket price. The context of the game will be between two teams that have not yet reached their maximum potential in the competition.
Pachuca continues to try to show that leadership is where it belongs; Tijuana is still looking to qualify for the knockout stage. We believe in Pachuca’s victory in this game.
If you put $100 into Pachuca’s win, you could get $120 back for a total payout of $220.
