Champion Pachuca seeks victory against Monterrey

After being shaken in the "Sultana del Norte", champion Pachuca needs to find success again when it faces a Monterrey team that arrives with many doubts in all aspects, in a match of the seventh round of the Apertura 2016 Tournament of Liga MX.

Both teams will clash at Estadio Hidalgo at 19:06 hours, with José Alfredo Peñaloza as the referee.

The "Tuzos" suffered their second defeat in the tournament in a game where they put up resistance, but in the end, their football was not enough to at least achieve a draw.

Back home, the pupils of Uruguayan Diego Alonso must regain their best performance, especially in the defense, where they were widely overcome at times.

The team from "Bella Airosa", which has 12 points, has five victories in the last 10 home games against their current rival, with only one defeat and four draws.

On the other hand, the Monterrey team was defeated by a landslide in the capital of the country by the Pumas from UNAM, a match in which they lacked total balance, as they generated goal opportunities unable to be reflected on the scoreboard and defensive deficiencies that are unforgivable for a First Division team.

Argentine coach Antonio Mohamed acknowledged that it is time to rethink many things, and he will have to do so in practically all sectors of the field.

The "Rayados", who have eight points, have won three of the last 10 matches played in any field against their current rival, with four defeats and three draws.
