This could be an interesting match as Pachuca have their presumed home advantage while Santos Laguna are ahead 3 points in the Liga MX table.

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.

Santos Laguna have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
