Monterrey have had a rough run lately, losing badly in a couple of games and only managing a draw in their most recent match, so they're not in great shape. Pachuca, on the other hand, are playing well and have won three of their last five, including two strong away wins, so they come into this one looking sharper.

When these two meet, the games often have plenty of goals, and this one looks like it could be open too. Even though Monterrey are at home, Pachuca's better form makes them the more likely winners, though a draw wouldn't be a surprise given how unpredictable these matchups have been.
