Pachuca vs Toronto prediction: Experts disregard Toronto’s chances
Key Stats
- Pachuca won one of their last two Liga MX outings.
- Salomon Rondon has been one of the more active goalscorers for Pachuca in the last couple of seasons.
- Toronto couldn’t score in regular time in their opening Leagues Cup match.
Correct score prediction: Pachuca 2-0 Toronto
As we mentioned earlier in our Pachuca vs Toronto prediction, Rondon and his colleagues got a nice win over Atletico San Luis only a couple of days ago. The result on the scoreboard? 2-0. We trust more of the same could happen on the 5th of August, as Toronto are performing at a very poor level recently.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Pachuca favored away from home
- HOME: +145 – 38.4%
- DRAW: +235 – 28.0%
- AWAY: +190 – 33.6%
*These Pachuca vs Toronto odds are subject to change
Salomon Rondon to score anytime is priced at +170, giving the visitors’ striker a 37.04% chance of sliding it past Toronto’s shot-stopper. Pachuca are the expected winners before the start. Coach Guillermo Almada’s players keep a massive 38.4% win probability, while the Canadian club only seems to enjoy a 33.6% shot at the three points.

Pachuca team news and form: Salomon Rondon will lead his team to a massive win
Due to his international duty, Rondon could only take part in one Liga MX game for his team so far. Maybe that’s why Guillermo Almada’s side won only once. However, the Venezuelan striker is back in action for his club, which is a plus in favor of our Pachuca vs Toronto prediction.
Predicted lineup: Moreno (GK), Gonzalez, Micolta, Cabral, Rodriguez, Pedraza, Deossa, Idrissi, Gutierrez, Alvarez & Rondon

Toronto team news and form: Surprisingly good stuff by Herdman’s boys
Yes, Toronto had to rely on the penalty roulette to brush aside New York Red Bulls, but in the end, it’s the three points that matter. Coach Herdman’s players saw 61.0% possession and rightfully deserved to get the basket full of points.
Predicted lineup: Johnson (GK), Long, Gomis, Laryea, Petretta, Osorio, Bernardeschi, Flores, Etienne, Insigne & Owusu

Player to watch: Salomon Rondon
Rondon got more recognition for his class as he took part in the 2024 Copa America. Surely, this sheer fact alone has boosted his confidence even more. During the 2023/24 Liga MX run, he scored 10 goals and supplied teammates with two assists in 21 league games, which makes him a valuable part of our Pachuca vs Toronto prediction.
Second player to watch: Carlos Moreno
Moreno did all he could in the match against Pumas UNAM on the 22nd of July. Yes, he conceded two goals, but he also made three crucial saves for his team. Had it been a less classy shot-stopper under the sticks, Pachuca would’ve taken a massive beating.
