This could be an interesting match as Pachuca have their presumed home advantage while Cruz Azul are ahead 4 points in the Liga MX table.
- Pachuca has the most matches under the total-line (17) in Liga MX
- Cruz Azul has the fewest dropped points from leading position (3) in Liga MX
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Pachuca form and stats
Pachuca have played 9 Liga MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-3 (wins-draws-losses). The last three games played by Pachuca, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.
Pachuca travelled for their previous game, a trip to León that ended 0-0. In the match before that, Pachuca hosted Juarez and drew the game 1-1.
The manager P. Pezzolano Suárez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Mazatlán in only four days.
Pachuca are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Cruz Azul form and stats
Playing away, Cruz Azul have won 4 games, drawn 1 and suffered 4 defeats in the Liga MX this season. It's a growing despair in Cruz as they have recorded three consecutive losses. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Cruz Azul are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Cruz are looking to quickly end their 270 minutes long goal drought in the Liga MX.
Home advantage was not enough for Cruz in their previous game, as they lost their Liga MX-match, hosting Puebla, 0-1. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Santos Laguna's place.
The visiting Cruz Azul have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 11 goals from 9 games. 10 goals have been conceded by Cruz in these games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
