The Mexican Liga MX returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Pachuca and Club Leon go head-to-head at the Estadio Hidalgo on Thursday.
Jorge Bava’s men have failed to win their last six away matches across all competitions and will head into the midweek clash looking to end this poor run.
Pachuca picked up consecutive victories for the first time in the new Liga MX Clausura campaign as they edged out Tijuana 3-2 last Saturday.
Guillermo Almada’s side have now won three of their four league matches since the turn of the year, with a 3-1 loss against Pumas UNAM on January 29 being the exception.
This fine start to the campaign has seen Pachuca rise to sixth place in the Clausura standings, level on nine points with fifth-placed Club Necaxa.
Club Leon, on the other hand, were on the receiving end of a 4-1 hammering against Toluca at the Estadio Nemesio Díez last weekend.
Bava’s men have now failed to win six of their last seven matches in all competitions, claiming two draws and losing four, including a 1-0 defeat against Urawa Red Diamonds in their FIFA Club World Cup clash on December 15.
With four points from their opening four matches, Club Leon are currently 12th in the Clausura table, level on points with Santos Laguna and Puebla.
