Pachuca will host Philadelphia Union at the Estadio Miguel Hidalgo on Wednesday in the second leg of their 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup last-16 tie.
The home side have had their struggles in the Liga MX this season but remain hopeful of clinching playoff football. They were beaten 2-1 by Queretaro in their game at the weekend, finding themselves two goals down midway through the second half before veteran striker Salomon Rondon scored a consolation goal from the spot.
Philadelphia Union, meanwhile, have endured a slow start to their league campaign and will hope they can find better luck on the continental stage. They faced Seattle Sounders in an MLS clash on Saturday but will replay the game at a later date after adverse weather conditions forced the abandonment of the weekend matchup.
The American outfit will now turn their attention to continental action in Mexico this week where a win or a draw with goals will see the Union advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup for a second consecutive campaign.
