Liga MX pace-setters Pachuca will be desperate to shake off back-to-back setbacks when they square up against Club Leon this weekend.
The hosts recently dragged themselves out of a miserable run of five straight losses across league and Leagues Cup play. Their revival came courtesy of Ismael Diaz, whose decisive strike sealed a gritty 1-0 away win at Necaxa — a much-needed boost for Leon.
Goals, however, have been in short supply for Nicolás Larcamón’s men. Six of their eight competitive fixtures this term have finished with fewer than three goals, a clear sign that Leon’s matches have been more cagey than free-flowing.
As for Pachuca, their midweek Leagues Cup quarterfinal against LA Galaxy ended in a 2-1 defeat, compounding their recent struggles. It marked a second consecutive loss, leaving Guillermo Almada’s side eager to rediscover their rhythm and prove why they sit atop the domestic table.
