Match Preview
Cruz Azul are fifth on 20 points from 12 matches. Apertura 2026 has no Play-In round, so the top eight go straight to the Liguilla quarterfinals.
Eighth place, the last direct Liguilla place, is Monterrey on 17 points from 11 matches. Cruz Azul hold a three-point cushion over that line.
Pachuca are 14th on 13 points from 12 matches, four points behind Monterrey in eighth. Five matches remain for Pachuca to close that gap.
The match also closes a double jornada week for both clubs. Each side is playing its second league match in a few days.
Recent Form
All results below are from Liga MX Apertura 2026 league matches only, listed oldest first for each club.
Pachuca, last five: Atlante 0-3 Pachuca, Pachuca 2-2 Tijuana, Santos Laguna 1-0 Pachuca, Pachuca 3-3 Necaxa, Monterrey 2-1 Pachuca.
That run leaves Pachuca without a league win in four matches. They have two draws and two defeats since the 3-0 win at Atlante.
Cruz Azul, last five: Cruz Azul 4-3 Club America, Monterrey 1-0 Cruz Azul, Cruz Azul 3-3 Toluca, Pumas UNAM 3-3 Cruz Azul, Cruz Azul 5-0 FC Juarez.

Team News
Pachuca defender Sergio Barreto is suspended for this match through yellow-card accumulation. Benjamin Mora must cover his place in the home defense.
No confirmed suspension has been reported for Cruz Azul ahead of the trip to Pachuca.
Key Storylines
Rondon still carries the Pachuca attack. Salomon Rondon scored the Pachuca goal in the 2-1 defeat at Monterrey on the weekend.
His finishing remains the clearest route back to winning form for the hosts. Pachuca need it against a Cruz Azul side that rarely keeps a clean sheet.
Cruz Azul score freely and concede freely. Joel Huiqui and his team have scored 27 league goals, but they have also conceded 21 in 12 matches.
Pachuca have conceded only 16 league goals all tournament. The visitors may not get the open game they enjoyed against FC Juarez.
Pachuca have had the better of this fixture lately. Pachuca won the last meeting, 2-1 at Cruz Azul in April 2026.
Across the last 10 meetings, Pachuca have five wins, Cruz Azul four, and one draw. The last meeting at Estadio Hidalgo went to Cruz Azul, 1-0 in September 2025.
What is next for Pachuca and Cruz Azul?
Jornada 14 follows on Sunday, October 25, 2026. Pachuca visit Club America at Estadio Banorte in Mexico City.
Cruz Azul also play that Sunday, away to Queretaro. Both clubs then have three regular-season matches left after this weekend.
