Our view

Pachuca's recent form is a concern, with no win in their last five in all competitions, while Cruz Azul arrive with more attacking output over the same stretch. The head-to-head record also leans towards the visitors, who have won three of the last five meetings between the clubs.

Most likely outcome: away win - Cruz Azul's stronger recent scoring record and better head-to-head run point that way.
