Betting Lines & Odds for this Sunday’s clash
Cruz Azul hasn’t given up on the fight for the top spot in Clausura as well.
Under 2.5 Goals
The last five head-to-heads all resulted in two goals or less. The last three times that Pachuca hosted this clash all resulted in Under 2.5 Goals as well. Pachuca has the second most stable defense in the league in the Clausura and with only eight goals conceded in nine games and the home advantage in their favor, it will be a lot more difficult for Cruz Azul to score this time.
Draw
It will be difficult for Cruz Azul to score in this game because of Pachuca’s great momentum but the historical data is not in favor of Pachuca as Cruz Azul won six of the last 10 games against this opponent. Only two games were won by Pachuca and two games resulted in a draw. Cruz Azul’s last away game was a 2:2 draw against Tigres UANL.
Squad News for Pachuca and Cruz Azul
There are no injuries or suspensions for either side in this game.
Pachuca’s Lineup
Nicolas Ibanez scored eight goals this season and is amongst the most effective strikers as he achieved those goals from just 23 shots on target. We have to give credit to Oscar Ustari as well as he showed world-class goalkeeping in the last two games where he achieved a clean sheet. Erick Sanchez is the main man when it comes to creating chances as he has five assists and one goal this season.
Cruz Azul’s Lineup
Santiago Gimenez will start for Cruz Azul in this game and this is great for the team as he is the top scorer of the team with six goals so far. Juan Escobar is probably the most diverse player in the attack as he has four goals this season but is also the key creator with three assists. He is also on penalty duty and he did manage to score one this season.

A Bore Draw
The teams haven’t been producing a very attractive style of soccer in the last two years when it comes to facing each other as neither side managed to score more than one goal in the last five games. It’s Pachuca who has the upper hand in Liga MX this season but the historical data should not be brushed aside. It will be a bore draw or perhaps a narrow victory for one of the sides.
Q&A for the upcoming game:
- How many goals were scored in the last five games between the two clubs? – Only five goals
- What is the most common result? – 1:0 victory for either side
- When will the game be played? – On the 20th of March, 04:00
