Pachuca vs Monterrey Match Preview

Pachuca face Monterrey at the Estadio Hidalgo, as part of the 10th round of the Liga MX Guardrtianes. The game will be held behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

After being undefeated for four consecutive rounds, Pachuca's run ended in the last round. After their victory over Atletico San Luis by 3-1 at home, they were defeated to Cruz Azul on the road by 1-0. Although their performance was quite decent and had some chances to score, unfortunately, they did not succeed and left the pitch without a single point.

They remain at the 7th place after nine rounds with 14 points and their main goal to enter the top 8 of the league s almost achieved. At home, their performance seems more stable, making always better appearances. The only missing for Paulo Pezzolano's team is the injured midfielder Hernades. 

On the other hand, Monterrey did not play well against Atlas at home sharing the points (1-1). In the following round, they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Tijuana on the road.

Monterey is very unstable in the midfield and struggle to score, but their coach Antonio Mohamed will try to improve the team. In today's encounter, they will have a difficult task to face, but the fact that the match is held behind closed doors it may affect the hosts.

I expect Monterrey to change things up and improve in the league, but of course, it will take time. Today against Pachuca that performs better at home, despite that the match will be played without spectators, they will struggle a lot. Home to win is my call, offered at 2,40 odds.
