Pachuca Preview
Pachuca had played an almost perfect match to prevent the rival from scoring, but in the final stretch, everything collapsed when the referee called a foul inside the area in favor of Tigres, which André-Pierre Gignac converted into a goal. This is the second consecutive game in which Pachuca has failed to score, considering that it closed the regular phase with a 0-0 draw against Monterrey.
They have the opportunity to reverse this in a home game, and also with the advantage of their position in the table, since any draw on aggregate would allow them to be semifinalists. In addition, as locals they register four consecutive wins.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Óscar Ustari, Kevin Álvarez, Gustavo Cabral, Óscar Murillo, Mauricio Isais, Luis Chávez, Érick Sánchez, Israel Luna, Javier López, Avilés Hurtado and Nicolás Ibáñez.
Tigres Preview
Tigres managed to take a minimal lead, thanks to a goal scored by Gignac at the end of the first game. The university team has won three consecutive matches and has managed to achieve clean sheets in all of them.
On the last day of the regular phase, they won a 3-0 as visitors against Atlético de San Luis, which could give them hope of a positive result in this match. Furthermore, they were the third-best away team, with four wins, two ties and three losses in the nine matches they played in that condition.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Nahuel Guzmán, Jesús Garza, Samir Caetano, Igor Lichnovsky, Jesús Angulo, Rafael Carioca, Guido Pizarro, Sebastián Córdova, Luis Quiñones, André-Pierre Gignac, Raymundo Fulgencio.
JefeBet Prediction
Pachuca lost only one of the nine home games it played in this Apertura 2022, with five clean sheets, conceding 40% of the total goals at home. Anything can happen, but Tigres could turn the situation around in this match.
Prediction: Pachuca wins by a score of 2-0.
