In this regard, here we tell you how the history between both teams stands exclusively in terms of qualifying matches.
As we know, these types of confrontations are always filled with all kinds of comments due to their historical significance, with great results for both sides. Therefore, it is important to know who has the advantage in the Pacific Classic, although one team having a better record than the other is no guarantee of victory.
