Pachuca team news and form: Pachuca seek success
After the rather mediocre start to their Apertura chase, Pachuca sure are in need of a motivation-booster. They have a 1-2-1 record in Liga MX so far. A win over the Bulls might just be the cure coach Almada needs.

New York Red Bulls team news and form: Surprisingly good display by the Bulls
We are surprised to see the Bulls rank 4th in MLS’ Eastern Conference after last season’s fiasco. We think that coach Sandro Schwarz will be focused on maintaining the steady course in the domestic league rather than search for success in the Leagues Cup.

Player to watch: Salomon Rondon
After a long and tiresome Copa America, Rondon made a return to club action in the 2-0 loss against Pumas UNAM last week. Coach Almada was smart enough not to risk his health by placing him among the starters, which is another plus in favor of our Pachuca vs New York Red Bulls predictions.
Second player to watch: Lewis Morgan
With 12 goals since the start of the season, Morgan is the leading Bulls goalscorer in Major League Soccer. If he continues performing as eloquently as he has thus far, he will surely have a memorable Leagues Cup as well.
