This Saturday, October 14, 2017 (5:00 PM Pacific) Monterrey will host Pachuca at the Estadio BBVA Bancomer for a match in the Liga MX Apertura 2017. 11 points separate the two teams on the table but it should still prove to be a very contested match between the two teams as both teams have very talented players.
Match Preview
Monterrey has proven to be the best team in the Liga MX this season, currently leading the competition with 24 points and a game in hand. Los Rayados are still undefeated in the tournament but are coming off a disappointing 2-2 draw against Queretaro away from home.
Antonio Mohamed still counts with arguably the most formidable team in the Liga MX with players like Aviles Hurtado, Rogelio Funes Mori, Dorlan Pabon and Carlos Sanchez, who can be lethal against any defense. The home-field advantage can prove to be the deciding factor in this game
Pachuca has been a disappointing team in the top-tier league of Mexican soccer this season, currently 12th with 13 points. Diego Alonso had a very busy offseason losing star player Hirving Lozano but finding very suitable additions to the team like Edson Puch and Keisuke Honda. The problem is that these players are yet to live up to expectations with players like Victor Guzman performing at a much higher level.
The latest result for Los Tuzos was a scoreless draw against Necaxa but before that enjoyed a massive 4-0 win against Cruz Azul. This should be a very exciting match between two teams that should feature in the playoffs and both teams should give a tremendous fight for the three points.
