Both teams are undefeated in their last two games, with the hosts returning to winning ways with a 2-0 home win over Tigres UANL in a top-of-the-table clash last week. Nicolas Ibañez bagged a brace after Jesús Angulo was sent off in the 14th minute.
Club America have made it two wins in a row and can make it three on the spin here. They secured a comfortable 3-0 win over Pumas UNAM on Saturday as they continued their rise in the league standings.

Pachuca vs Club America Prediction
Defense has been a strong point for the hosts and they boast the best defensive record in the league, conceding just four goals in seven games thus far. They also have three clean sheets in their last four games. With just seven goals to their name, they have struggled a bit in the final third, failing to score in three of their last four games.
Las Águilas will travel to Hidalgo with two back-to-back wins to their name, but Pachuca are undefeated at home this term and their recent record against the visitors also gives them an advantage. We back them to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Pachuca 1-0 Club America
