The action continues in round three of Mexican Liga MX as Pachuca and Atletico San Luis square off at the Estadio Hidalgo on Tuesday. Both sides have had a contrasting start to the new season, with Domenec Torrent Font’s men failing to win their first two matches.
Pachuca were guilty of a wasteful display in front of goal last weekend as they were held to a goalless draw by Club Leon at the Estadio León.
Prior to that, Guillermo Almada’s side kicked off the new Apertura campaign on July 8, when they fell to a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Monterrey.
Pachuca, who have failed to find the back of the net in their opening two matches, will be looking to turn things around on Wednesday and get their season up and running.
Elsewhere, Atletico San Luis were left spitting feathers last time out as they played out a 2-2 draw with Mazatlan after giving up their two-goal lead in the final minutes of the game.
This followed an impressive 2-1 comeback victory over Club America in their league curtain-raiser on July 7 courtesy of a brace from Mateo Klimowicz.
San Luiz will be looking to continue where they left off last season when they clinched the CONCACAF Champions Cup title courtesy of a 3-0 victory over Columbus Crew in the final on June 2.
