Pachuca form and stats
Pachuca have played three Liga MX home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Pachuca, their manager P. Pezzolano Suárez and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
