Pachuca sits in fourteenth place, four points out of the last Liga MX playoff spot; a loss against Cruz Azul at home in Matchday 13 would practically guarantee their elimination. A great match is expected at Estadio Miguel Hidalgo, and the pre-match odds are quite even.

The incredible thing about Pachuca being so low in the standings is that they are completely failing to capitalize on another outstanding season from veteran Venezuelan striker Salomón Rondón. The gladiator scored again, bringing his tally to 13 goals, five more than the player who trails him in that category. Pachuca has not only failed to win any of its last four matches but also conceded the first goal in each of them.

Cruz Azul, after two chaotic 3-3 draws, first against Toluca and then against Pumas, finally delivered a resounding victory, thrashing Juárez 5-0 in Matchday 12. It was one of those nights when Huiqui's team looked cohesive, so much so that the goals came from five different players.

Our CF Pachuca vs CF Cruz Azul Prediction

In April of this year, these two teams faced off in a match that Pachuca won 2-1 at Cruz Azul's home ground. The recent history between these teams has been one of parity; in 5 of their last 6 encounters, the winner was determined by just one goal.

Salomón Rondón, the predator in the area, will be the man to be marked hard by Cruz Azul, but the Cementeros could well capitalize on a somewhat flawed defense from the Tuzos.

Our prediction for Pachuca vs Cruz Azul is: Over 2.5 goals.

Prediction:

 

Over 2.5 goals
