Correct score prediction: Pachuca 2-2 San Diego
Pachuca have bounced back from their disappointing FIFA Club World Cup campaign, stringing together three consecutive wins in Liga MX.

Player to watch: Hirving Lozano
Hirving Lozano will be eager to go up against his boyhood club, as he scored 43 goals in 149 appearances for Pachuca between 2014 and 2017. The former Napoli forward scored the only goal in San Diego's 1-0 victory against Nashville last weekend. He will look to score in back-to-back games for the first time in 12 weeks.
