The Mexican Liga MX returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Pachuca and Club America square off at the Estadio Hidalgo on Saturday. Both sides met in the Apertura back in November, with Alejandro Zenjedas and Alan Cervantes hitting the target to hand Andre Jardine’s men a hard-fought 2-1 victory.
Pachuca were sent back down to earth in their surge up the Liga MX table as they fell to a 3-2 defeat against Toluca at the Estadio Nemesio Díez last Sunday.
Before that, Guillermo Almada’s men were on a four-game unbeaten run in the league, picking up two wins and two draws while scoring nine goals and conceding five in that time.
Pahuca have picked up 21 points from their 13 Liga MX matches so far to sit seventh in the league standings, level on points with eighth-placed Juarez FC.
Meanwhile, Club America were guilty of a wasteful display in front of goal last time out as they were held to a goalless draw by Cruz Azul in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-final clash.
Jardine’s men now turn their focus to Liga MX, where they are on a six-game unbeaten run, claiming four wins and two draws since February’s 3-2 defeat against Club Necaxa.
Club America have picked up 30 points from their 13 league matches so far to sit top of the standings, three points above second-placed Toluca.
