The Pachuca vs Santos Laguna match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Tuzos host Los Guerreros at the Estadio Hidalgo this Saturday, October 20, 2018, at 5:00 PM Pacific.
Pachuca has been an inconsistent team this season, currently in 11th place with 15 points, but is still just a point off of a playoff spot. Los Tuzos are coming off a 2-1 loss to Toluca away from home, but are undefeated in their last four home games, this includes a 1-1 draw against Tigres UANL and an impressive 3-1 win against Cruz Azul.
Pako Ayestaran has a very solid squad and former Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa is starting to find his groove with two goals in Pachuca’s last two games. The defense is a major concern with young players like Miguel Tapias and Alexis Pena along with inconsistent goalkeepers like Oscar Perez and Alfonso Blanco.
Santos Laguna has been one of the better teams this season, currently in third place with 24 points and could potentially be in first place after the weekend. Los Guerreros are coming off a 3-1 win against Atlas at home and have won their last two games in league play.
Julio Furch has scored in each of these last two games and has been the standout on the team with nine goals, tied for the most in the league with Andre-Pierre Gignac. Santos Laguna also has other dangerous players in the attack like Osvaldo Martinez and Jonathan Rodriguez, who has scored seven goals this season.
Pachuca vs Santos Laguna Prediction
FutnSoccer predicts a 2-1 win for the visitors, Pachuca has been good at the Estadio Hidalgo, but Santos Laguna has simply been one of the best in the 2018 Apertura.
