After the March FIFA break, Liga MX is back with exciting matches for the 13th matchday, and the Pachuca vs Cruz Azul game is one to watch. Both teams have had their ups and downs lately, but they come motivated after their wins in the previous round.
The reigning champions Pachuca, despite having one of the best records, has struggled to be consistent and knows they need to improve for the final stretch. On the other hand, the Máquina Cementera has shown progress since Ricardo Ferretti became their coach, and this match will be a good test to see if their good performance is legit or just a stroke of luck.

Betting on Club de Fútbol Pachuca
Pachuca got back on track with a satisfying 2-0 victory over Pumas in their latest game of this campaign. This win marks their seventh victory in Clausura, with one draw and four losses. It is interesting to note that the Tuzos has suffered more losses this season than in the previous Apertura 2022 tournament, where they emerged as champions, with only three losses out of 17 regular-phase matches.
Now, Pachuca is gearing up to play on their home turf, where they hope to put an end to their three-game losing streak, having only drawn once and lost twice. It is worth noting that those defeats came at the hands of higher-ranked opponents, which will not be the case for their upcoming match.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Oscar Ustari; José Castillo, Gustavo Cabral, Enzo Martínez, Kevin Álvarez; Erick Sánchez, Israel Luna; Francisco Figueroa, Illian Hernández, Jesús Hernández; Roberto de la Rosa.
Betting on Club de Fútbol Cruz Azul
Cruz Azul is struggling to maintain consistency in this Clausura 2023 season, but recent numbers show significant improvement. The team has won most of their matches in the last five games.
This week, they have a pending match against Querétaro, one of the weakest teams in the league. Winning this game would be a huge boost for the blue team, especially before facing the reigning champions.
However, let’s not forget that Cruz Azul will be playing away, and their last performance in this condition was a 3-1 defeat against Mazatlán. Moreover, they have only won one out of five away games this season.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Jesús Corona; José Rivero, Juan Escobar, Ramiro Funes Mori, Julio César Domínguez; Carlos Rodríguez, Erik Lira, Ramiro Carrera; Uriel Antuna, Augusto Lotti, Carlos Rotondi.
JefeBet Prediction
Knowing that playing away is one of Cruz Azul’s weaknesses, the odds may favor Pachuca. Even though the Tuzos has not been at their best in their recent home games, they have won 50% of their matches on their turf, scoring 14 out of 24 goals, and has found the back of the net in every single game.
On the other hand, the Celeste has scored in their last seven matches. Therefore, even if the home team ends up with the upper hand, at JefeBet we predict that both teams could score in this game.
Prediction: Pachuca moneyline and both score (PAC 2-1 CRU)
