Thanks to a completely healthy squad available for selection, the Pachuca boss Guillermo Almada doesn’t have any fitness concerns at all coming into this game.

We are inclined to think that Los Tuzos might elect for a 3-4-3 system, starting the game with Carlos Moreno, Jorge Berlanga, Gustavo Cabral, Andrés Micolta, Nelson Deossa, Jesús Hernández, Pedro Pedraza, Bryan González, Erick Sánchez, Oussama Idrissi and Salomon Rondon.

🔮 Prediction

We believe that Santos Laguna have the firepower to breach the defence of this Pachuca team, but a single goal possibly won’t be as many as they will have scored against them.

Therefore, we’re predicting a narrow 1-2 victory for Pachuca at the end of the 90 minutes. There looks to be little in this one.
