With the nervous opening game out of the way it's time for the second Liga MX game of the season. Pachuca look forward to welcoming Guadalajara in front of their home support.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
This stadium uses grass, unlike Guadalajara's home stadium. The visitors last 33 games on grass have ended in 11 wins, 13 draws and 9 losses.
Pachuca form and stats
In their previous game, the manager P. Pezzolano Suárez led his Pachuca to a defeat in the Liga MX match away at Pumas UNAM. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Miguel Hidalgo. Before that, Pachuca had a home game versus Pumas UNAM which ended with a victory 2-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Pachuca have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won 2 times, drawn 0 and lost 0.
Pachuca are traveling soon after this match as the Copa MX match at Venados awaits in three days.
Last season, Pachuca's league statistics were 8 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, resulting in a 7th position in the Liga MX. Over these 17 matches they scored 32 goals and conceded 26. Playing at home last season Pachuca managed 8-0-0 (win-draw-lost) with 26 goals and 5 conceded.
Guadalajara form and stats
The fact that Guadalajara have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Momentum is building for Guadalajara in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
The supporters enjoyed Guadalajara's previous game versus Juarez (placed 9th), a Liga MX 2-0 win played at home. A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Querétaro.
Guadalajara are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. From a total of seven matches.
A new game in only three days for Guadalajara, the Copa MX home match versus Dorados. Busy days.
Let's have a look at how Guadalajara performed last season in the Liga MX: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 3 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 16 and conceded 21 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 2 and lost 5 with 7/12 goals scored/conceded.
