On Sunday Aug 7th, in week 7, Pachuca plays host to Tigres UANL in a clash of these two mismatched Liga MX teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 7th placed Pachuca is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Chivas. Neither Chivas nor Pachuca could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 14 and 10 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Pachuca is looking for direction having 2 win and 1 losses in their last 10 matches, while tigres UANL is fresh off their 2-1 win against Querétaro. Lopez Alonso struck first for Tigres UANL in the 19th minute, but Ariel Nahuelpán got the equalizer for Querétaro in the 25th minute. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Tigres UANL should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Gignac has been the most effective weapon for Tigres UANL lately. The French attacker has netted three goals in his last 5 matches. Luis Chavez and Gustavo Cabral are the top scorers for Pachuca in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
