Pachuca host Cruz Azul seeking vital playoff ground
CF Pachuca must make their home advantage count to close a three-point gap to the playoff spots, while Cruz Azul aim to solidify their top-eight cushion at Estadio Hidalgo.
CF Pachuca sit 14th on 13 points, three points and six places off the playoff places with six games remaining. The hosts have shown plenty of attacking power but lingering inconsistency, drawing 3-3 at home against Necaxa last time out after a 1-0 defeat at Santos Laguna and a 2-2 draw with Club Tijuana.
Cruz Azul occupy fifth place on 20 points, holding a four-point buffer inside the playoff positions with five matches left to play. They arrive after back-to-back 3-3 thrillers, having shared the points away to U.N.A.M. - Pumas following a six-goal draw against Toluca and a 4-3 victory over Club America earlier this month.
