The season is still fairly new and the Liga MX table has to be read with caution. So far Pachuca find themselves in 9th position and Mazatlán are placed 15th.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Pachuca form and stats

Three Liga MX home games done for Pachuca, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.

It's back home for Pachuca, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Puebla away with the result 1-0. Ismael Sosa found the net in that victory. Preceding that match was a defeat to León (0-1).

The victory against Puebla came after Ismael Sosa's winning goal. The Pachuca manager P. Pezzolano Suárez was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 59th minute.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Pachuca's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won three matches, drawn one and lost two.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Pachuca here at Estadio Hidalgo in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Pachuca have conceded 3 in these home matches.

Mazatlán form and stats

The Liga MX season is young and Mazatlán have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Mazatlán are looking to quickly end their 241 minutes long goal drought in the Liga MX.

There were no winners in Mazatlán's previous match, a Liga MX home game that ended 0-0 vs Pumas UNAM (placed 4th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Necaxa wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

A quick return to home after this game, as Mazatlán are hosting Tigres UANL in the Liga MX only four days away.

1 goal so far away for Mazatlán, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
