Club America vs Pachuca Prediction and Betting Tips | April 23rd 2024

The Estadio Azteca plays host to the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League semi-final as Club America and Pachuca battle it out in a thrilling all-Mexican affair.

Both sides squared off in the Liga MX back in February, with Erick Sanchez scoring a second-half brace to fire Pachuca to a 2-1 victory.

Club America suffered just their second defeat of the Liga MX campaign on Sunday as they were beaten 2-1 by Pumas UNAM at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario.

Prior to that, Andre Jardine’s men were on a five-match unbeaten run — picking up four wins and one draw — a run which saw them climb to the top of the league table.

Club America now turn their attention to the CONCACAF Champions League, where they brushed aside Real Esteli and Guadalajara in the opening two rounds, before claiming an emphatic 9-2 aggregate win over New England Revolution in the quarter-finals.

Pachuca, meanwhile, have enjoyed a stellar run to the Champions League semi-finals, beating Philadelphia Union and Herediano while scoring 13 goals and keeping three clean sheets.

Guillermo Almada’s side head into Tuesday’s game off the back of a 2-0 victory over Santos Laguna in the Liga MX, where they are currently sixth in the table with 28 points from 16 matches.

Next up for Pachuca is a journey to the Estadio Azteca, where they are unbeaten in three of their last four visits, claiming two wins and one draw since February 2022.
