Things have been pretty exciting at the top of the Clausura MX season, as the teams at the top have managed to keep themselves pretty tight to each other. With six points being the gap between the top place and the 8th spot, anything could happen in these last matchdays.
Many teams are fighting to ensure a place within the top 4 and get a direct pass to the Liguilla evading the playoffs. In this context, two traditional teams, Pachuca and Chivas, face with everything in their hands to fulfill their objectives.
Both have had their ups and downs this season, accumulating almost ten losses between them, so there is an aura of mystery about what they can do when they hit the field. That only makes things more exciting for us.

Why Bet on Pachuca?
Pachuca will be local at the Higalgo with a general record of eight wins, one draw, and five losses. They are one of the teams who enjoyed a brief period in the first place, so they want to get back there. This match is key in that sense, as it’ll be the hardest one left until the end of the season.
The Tuzos will try their best to get and lock into their pass into the Liguilla with a victory over a Chivas who still has a slim chance of reaching the top four.
The team broke their three-match losing streak after scoring three and getting a clean sheet against Tigres. It came at the perfect time as a late winning streak puts them in a great position to reach the postseason well.Â
Rondon has been their best player since his arrival in December, and the Venezuelan has 15 goals and three assists in all competitions, averaging one goal contribution per game.
Why Bet on Chivas?
Our visitors will be the Rebaño Sagrado, the 9th-placed team that has been racking up a winning streak as of late. They have six wins, four draws, and four losses, well positioned in the race to reach the playoffs comfortably.
Fernando Gago’s team will try to get a direct past to the playoffs, even if it looks extremely difficult and doesn’t depend on them at all. Whatever the case, this match is key, as a win will potentially allow them to climb many places.
In their way after this game, they have Queretaro and Atlas, so it’s on them to try their best.
After a 2-0 victory over Monterrey and a 3-2 triumph over Puebla, they have been racking up speed, and this might be the match where Chivas has to make it count.
Final Betting Analysis:Â Pachuca vs. Chivas
Even though both teams are coming in with some speed, we believe that a deciding factor for this match will be the location, and we believe that Pachuca, who not too long ago were at the highest spots on the scoreboard, are likely to take this opportunity in front of their home crowd to make a statement.
Chivas aren’t doing badly right now, but we do not believe they will be able to take points in this clash, and that will send them into overdrive for the next matchdays.
Right now, our betting token is on Pachuca to get the victory on a pretty contested duel between two teams who need the win here. We’ll go for a 3-1.
We’ll go for a victory for the locals at 2.17. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $117 for a total payout of $217.
