Por que apostar no Pachuca?
Pachuca started the tournament strongly, but their performance has declined, along with their position in the standings. They currently sit in sixth place, having earned 10 points from three wins, one draw, and two losses.
After winning their first three matches, they drew against Atlas and have now lost their last two games—first a 1-2 defeat to León and then another 2-1 loss to Cruz Azul, with Gabriel Fernández scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute.
The ‘Tuzos’ will be without defender Eduardo Bauermann for this match after he was sent off, but they will have Elías Montiel back after serving his suspension.
They have struggled at their stadium, and including the previous tournament, they have only managed two wins in their last nine home matches, along with four losses.
Salomón Rondón is the team’s top scorer with three goals, while John Kennedy, one of the most important signings in Liga MX this year, has two goals and one assist.
Uruguayan Santiago Homenchenko has already played a couple of matches with the U-23 team, and he is expected to be called up for this weekend’s game.
Por que apostar no Puma?
Pumas, on the other hand, have been improving their form. They are now unbeaten in four matches, winning the last two, and have climbed to fifth place with 11 points—one more than Pachuca.
Last weekend, they secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Mazatlán with a goal in the 90+11th minute by Piero Quispe. The Peruvian midfielder capitalized on a deflected pass from Ali Ávila after a good individual play and a cross from Robert Ergas to give his team the win.
The ‘Felinos’ also played the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup this week, struggling but ultimately defeating Canada’s Cavalry 2-0 to advance to the Round of 16 with a 3-2 aggregate score. Guillermo Martínez was the hero, coming off the bench in the second half to score both goals.
Among the new signings this year, midfielder Adalberto Carrasquilla and goalkeeper Alex Padilla stand out as important players but need to demonstrate it.
