Pachuca team news and form: Pachuca’s quest begins

The Liga MX side certainly didn’t deserve to get thrashed 3-0 by Real Madrid on the 18th of December. After all, Solomon Rondon and his colleagues did produce as many shots at target as Kylian Mbappe and his teammates.

Predicted lineup: Moreno (GK), Micolta, Gonzalez, Barreto, Rodriguez, Montiel, Pedraza, Idrissi, Deossa, Gutierrez & Rondon

Santos Laguna team news and form: Anthony Lozano is out of the picture

Not only did Chivas beat Laguneros 1-0, but Lozano saw a last-minute red card which means our top Pachuca vs Santos Laguna predictions will surely succeed. The Lozano-shaped hole in the midfield will be too big of an obstacle for the manager to solve.

Predicted lineup: Lopez (GK), Nunez, Espinoza, Santamaria, Abella, Guemez, Mariscal, Munoz, Villalba, Dajome & Sanchez

Player to watch: Ramiro Sordo

Ramiro Sordo is undoubtedly the visitors’ big name right now. With three goals and an assist since the start of the season, Sordo is the only player who can make things right for Laguneros. He will do his best to disprove our top Pachuca vs Santos Laguna predictions.

Second player to watch: Nelson Deossa

Pachuca’s third-best goalscorer this season is called Nelson Deossa. The midfielder found the net on two occasions this season already and we believe we will see him play against Laguneros.
