Betting on Mazatlan
Rubén Omar Romano got to the team, and not even then did they win. They say that the coach who makes his debut wins, but apparently this does not apply to the Cañoneros, who seem to be cursed. The team is having a tough time—they’re not even able to come out on top in their intersquad games. In their debut against Puebla, they did not fare well, losing by a score of 3-1.
They have lost five games, which would probably be six if they had played the first day, but it was suspended. Romano has already had the team for a week, and the Argentinean knows how to do his job, so the team is likely to show improvement in the days to come.
If there is one thing the Argentinean knows how to do well, it is to build teams from the back to the front. One of the main problems is the defense, as it has conceded 16 goals. So, in order to see some improvements, first the defense has to be enhanced, followed by the offense, little by little.
Possible Lineup (5-3-2): Nicolás Vikonis; Bryan Colula, Facundo Almada, Efrain Orona, Francisco Venegas, Raúl Sandoval; Josué Colmán, Jefferson Intriago, Andrés Montaño; Ariel Nahuelpán, Ake Loba.
Betting on Pachuca
The champion is very pragmatic. They are effective without complicating things a lot. They have only one defeat, which was against Tigres at the Volcán. On that day, absolutely nothing came out of it.
Obviously, Guillermo Almada (the team’s coach) took courage, and the team has not lost since that game. The last time, they drew 1-1 against Chivas at the Hidalgo: it was a very pleasant match, where the Tuzos had a hard time breaking down the red and white wall that held up until the end.
Pachuca also had its share of suffering, but Oscar Ustari avoided the second defeat of the tournament with an impressive triple save that would have meant El Rebaño‘s second goal and perhaps the three points. The champions continue to play well, but if they are locked in, they can cause them a lot of problems.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Oscar Ustari; José Castillo, Gustavo Cabral, Oscar Murillo, André Isais; Israel Luna, Luis Chávez; Avilés Hurtado, Javier López, Jesús Hernández; Roberto de la Rosa.
JefeBet Prediction
Pachuca won’t want to draw two in a row, and Mazatlan obviously doesn’t want to keep losing, but although Romano works well, he is no wizard. One cannot expect to see good changes in a devastated team, much less now that they have to play against the champion. Therefore, at JefeBet we believe they will take another loss, but they will show a lot of improvement.
Prediction: Mazatlan 0-1 Pachuca.
