CF Pachuca vs CF Cruz Azul Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 9/13/25, 3:38 PM  by Edgar Jibran in Liga MX Picks

Most of the Mexican clubs have radically changed during the most recent months and a season that was expected to be a nightmare for Cruz Azul after their disappointing performance in the Leagues Cup, has turned into an excellent form for them as they’re currently sit in third place of the standings with 17 points. With that motivation, they’ll face Pachuca in a game which is expected to be one of the most spectacular of the weekend.

However, it must be noted that Pachuca hasn’t been able to keep up the good performance they displayed during the first matchdays of the season, and they now are on a four-game streak in which they haven’t been able to win. With those numbers in mind, their head coach Jimmy Lozano, has once again become the target of critics from the media and the fans as the defensive fragility they showed during the Club World Cup is back.

Meanwhile, Cruz Azul is one of the teams that has been able to win their last five Liga MX games, but it’s worth noting that their defense still needs significant improvement as they conceded at least one goal in four out of their last five games in a row. Despite that, the injury that Angel Sepulveda suffered during their game against Guadalajara will bring some uncertainty for their offensive line at least for the next three games.
