Monterrey vs. Pachuca Odds

Game Preview

Rayados took one point on the road against Club America last weekend, 1-1. Diego Rossi broke the ice for the guests, but Bueno leveled the score in stoppage time of the first half.

Monterrey’s performances at home are much better than those on the road. They are 3-1-1 in Liga MX games, noting that Rayados kept clean sheets in the past two matches where they took 4 points.

Pachuca hasn’t won in the last three meetings, posting two ties and a loss. However, their scoring is strong, with Los Tuzos netting two or more goals in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.

The main reason for that is the Venezuelan veteran, Salomon Rondon, who already has 12 goals on his account. Rondon leads the top goalscoring race and is far ahead of the competition. The next best scorer is Necaxa’s Julian Carranza with 7 goals.

Monterrey vs. Pachuca Head to Head

Pachuca won the last 4 consecutive games against Monterrey. In each one, Los Tuzos scored twice or more, and the last meeting was in April this year, when they won in Monterrey 1-3.

Monterrey vs. Pachuca Predictions

Pachuca forces rivals into high-intensity matches, as they want to play offensive-minded football and attack. Monterrey is good at home, where it tends to impose its own pace and press the rivals. This should be an interesting matchup in which both teams hit the back of the rivals’ net at least once.
