Pachuca Preview 

Miguel Rodriguez opened his 2025 Clausura account registering a goal in the late stages of the first half. His winning goal was his fifth career goal in a Tuzos kit in his 44th showing across all competitions. The attacking forward managed to stockpile six shots towards the target with two landing directly at the target in his 67-minute stint last weekend. 

On loan product John Kennedy shined in his first taste of Liga MX play, acquiring an assist in his 68-minute debut. The 22-year-old has the potential to provide attacking contributions up front as he is a highly coveted piece on this Pachuca roster.

C.F. Monterrey vs. Pachuca - My Pick

• C.F. Monterrey vs. Pachuca pick: C.F. Monterrey moneyline 3-way (-134) at bet365

We're only a couple of weeks into a new campaign, but the heat is already on C.F. Monterrey to achieve three points on Saturday. Last season’s fifth-place finishers have the talent and history on their side to come out on top. When this encounter is showcased in Liga MX play at Estadio BBVA, the hosts have won 10 out of the previous 16 skirmishes dating back to November 2010. Los Albiazules have been a tad unlucky not to have a win under their belt as they have performed well in their opening two matches. Our feeling is the hosts finally achieve the taste of victory for the first in the 2025 Clausura on Saturday.
