The Liga MX match between Pachuca and Pumas will take place at Estadio Hidalgo on Monday at 7:45 am IST.
On Sunday, Pumas will aim to maintain their undefeated record in the Liga MX season as they face Pachuca away from home. Pumas have accumulated four points from their first two matches, showcasing a solid start. Meanwhile, Pachuca has only secured a draw and suffered a defeat in their opening games.
Pachuca entered the new Liga MX season with great momentum after a memorable previous campaign. They secured their first domestic trophy since 2016 by winning the Apertura phase. With a fourth-place finish in the table, they advanced to the quarter-finals and then progressed to the final with impressive victories over Tigres and Monterrey. In the final, they faced Toluca and showcased their dominance by winning the first leg 5-1 and the second leg 3-1, earning them their seventh Liga MX title. In the Clausura stage, they finished fifth but suffered an early exit in the reclassification stage, losing in a penalty shootout against Santos Laguna.
In the previous season, Pumas had a forgettable performance. They initially failed to secure a spot in the reclassification stage of the Apertura, finishing 16th with only 14 points from 17 matches. Their struggles continued in the Clausura, ending in 14th place with 18 points, just one point shy of the reclassification positions. Pumas began the season with a difficult away match against Club Tijuana, emerging victorious in a thrilling 3-2 encounter. Following their winning start, Mohamed’s team faced Mazatlan in their second league match, but the game ended in a goalless draw. Although they may have hoped for more, the result means Pumas remain undefeated heading into the third round of matches.
Pachuca probable starting lineup: Ustari, Castillo, Cabral, Barreto, Rodriguez, Ovelar, Montiel, Pedraza, J Hernandez, Di Yorio, I Hernandez
Pumas probable starting lineup: Gonzalez, Bennevendo, Natan, Ortiz, Aldrete, Salvio, Rivas, Caicedo, Huerta, Dinenno, Del Prete
