Pachuca vs Toluca Predictions & Betting Lines
In this article, you’ll get a better understanding of the nature of this rivalry and you’ll see our major Pachuca vs Toluca picks for this week.
Contents
Over 3.5 Goals
Pachuca’s performance in the Clausura race is simultaneously good and shaky. Yes, the team is in 4th place after six matches played, but coach Guillermo Almada’s boys are conceding too frequently these days.
Pachuca conceded eight in six games but the 63-year-old manager has the attackers to thank as they scored 14. This leaves us with no option other than to provide you with a Pachuca vs Toluca prediction for over four goals on the 20th of February as Toluca will try to net one or two in a well.
Pachuca to Win
The only team that has more victories in the Clausura race than Pachuca are Monterrey. With four victories in six games, Pachuca will undoubtedly do their best to get a result over Toluca as well. Our Pachuca vs Toluca prediction here is also backed up by the head-to-head statistics as they indicate a serious advantage to the home team.
With five victories, two draws, and only three losses against Toluca, it’s understandable why the bookies favor coach Guillermo Almada’s side for this game on Monday.

Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Pachuca
Roberto de la Rosa and Javier Lopez have been doing their best to make Nicolas Ibanez’s departure unfelt by the fans. Their combined Clausura tally is six goals and we’re confident we’ll have yet to see the very best from these players for Pachuca. So far so good for Guillermo Almada’s side as the team is in 4th place after six matches played which undoubtedly made our Pachuca vs Toluca prediction-making decisions easier.
Predicted lineup – Ustari (GK), Perez, Cabral, Murillo, Isais, Chavez, Luna, Hurtado, Lopez, Casiano, de la Rosa
Toluca
Toluca won’t have it easy at Estadio Hidalgo. The team has been doing well recently but it takes a hell of a performance for one to poach points away from Pachuca these days. And there was nothing commendable about the last Toluca away game as it ended with a 2-1 victory for Cruz Azul at Estadio BBVA Bancomer. All hopes lay on Maximiliano Araujo as he’s not only the top scorer on the team but also the Clausura playmaker-in-chief with three assists since the start of the campaign.
Predicted lineup – Volpi (GK), Garcia, Mosquera, Huerta, Angulo, Meneses, Vergara, Ruiz, Araujo, Fernandez & Sanvezzo

Player to Watch: Roberto de la Rosa
Roberto de la Rosa’s second-half opener versus Guadalajara a couple of days ago proved decisive as Guillermo Almada poached the three points in a thrifty 1-0 victory over Chivas. Now that Nicolas Ibanez is gone, it’s up to Roberto de la Rosa to secure the goals for Pachuca. And we have to say, he’s been crushing it lately. With two goals and two assists in the Clausura campaign, Roberto de la Rosa is a key cog in our Pachuca vs Toluca prediction.
