The Monterrey vs Pachuca match will be broadcast on TUDN on Saturday, January 25, at 10:00 PM ET / 7:00 PM PT. From the Estadio BBVA, ''los Rayados'', led by Martin Demichelis, will aim for their first victory of the tournament after two consecutive draws. Meanwhile, Pachuca, under the guidance of Guillermo Almada, will try to maintain their good form following a win in the previous matchday. Discover how both teams are performing, their strengths, and what's at stake in this exciting clash.
Monterrey's start to the tournament has been marked by a lack of wins, registering two consecutive draws. In their last match, they drew 1-1 against Toluca in a game where they showed defensive solidity but lacked attacking precision. Although they opened the scoring early, Toluca responded in the second half, capitalizing on a defensive lapse by Los Rayados. This result highlighted the need to refine their finishing and maintain greater consistency throughout the 90 minutes.
During the Apertura 2024, Los Rayados delivered notable performances, such as a 5-1 victory over San Luis in the quarterfinals, but also suffered painful setbacks, including elimination against America in the final. Martin Demichelis now seeks to establish a system that will help the team regain their form and position themselves as title contenders in the Clausura 2025.
Pachuca arrives with confidence after defeating Santos Laguna 2-1 in the previous matchday. In that game, Los Tuzos displayed a balanced approach between attack and defense, standing out for their ability to respond after conceding an early goal. Guillermo Almada's team maintained possession for most of the match, turning the game around with two second-half goals through high pressing and effective finishing in the opponent's box.
During the Apertura 2024, Pachuca experienced an inconsistent campaign, mixing commanding victories, such as a 6-2 win over Necaxa, with concerning defeats, like a 3-0 loss to Real Madrid in an international friendly. This inconsistency has been a focus for coach Almada, who aims to solidify a style of play that will make Los Tuzos more competitive in the Clausura 2025.
