Pachuca vs Monterrey is one of the semifinal games of the Liga MX Apertura 2022. Both faced difficult matches in the quarter-final series, but managed to come out on top, representing one of the two teams that will reach the Liguilla final.
They were fortunate enough to win the series at home, but Pachuca now must take the first step as locals if they want to advance to the final of the Mexican tournament. Monterrey must be very focused because they will face an opponent that is capable of anything.

Pachuca Preview
Pachuca was on the verge of being eliminated by Tigres, after losing the first leg game of the quarterfinals by a score of 1-0, but in the second leg it managed to recover from the defeat and won by a score of 2-1. Thanks to their advantage in the overall standings and the 2-2 draw on aggregate, they once again became semifinalists.
On this occasion, the situation for the Tuzos is different, as the first match will be played at home. They will have to take advantage of this, as the Hidalgo team has won five consecutive matches at home.
Absences: Kévin Álvarez.
Probable lineup: Óscar Ustari, José Castillo, Gustavo Cabral, Óscar Murillo, Mauricio Isais, Luis Chávez, Érick Sánchez, Israel Luna, Javier López, Avilés Hurtado and Nicolás Ibáñez.
Monterrey Preview
Monterrey has done a great job defensively throughout the Apertura 2022. It was the team that conceded the least amount of goals and currently registers five consecutive clean sheets, with 491 minutes without conceding goals.
Their defensive success has helped them sustain a favorable eight-game unbeaten streak, with five wins and three draws in that period. Overall, Rayados was the team with the fewest defeats in the tournament, with only two in 17 matches, accompanied by 10 wins and five draws.
Absences: Duván Vergara, Joao Rojas.
Probable lineup: Esteban Andrada, Erick Aguirre, Héctor Moreno, Stefan Medina, Jesús Gallardo, Arturo González, Luis Romo, Celso Ortiz, Maximiliano Meza, Germán Berterame, Rodrigo Aguirre.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams have great potential, and although Monterrey lost both of their Apertura 2022 defeats as visitors, recent results suggest that this match could end in a goalless draw.
Prediction: Draw by a score of 0-0.
