Comparative Team Statistics: Monterrey vs Pachuca

A fixture that rarely favours the home side lately

These two have met close to twenty times going back to 2017, and it's Pachuca who've had the better of several recent visits. Their most recent trip to Monterrey, back in April, ended 3-1 in Pachuca's favour, and they've also won away in this fixture more than once over the last couple of seasons.

There's no reliable pattern of Monterrey dominating at home in this particular head-to-head, at least not recently.

Recent history doesn't hand Monterrey an obvious home edge here.

Barely anything between them in the table

Monterrey sit tenth with 13 points from eight games, Pachuca eleventh with 12 points from nine. That's a single point and one extra fixture separating them, so there's no meaningful gap in current league standing.

With so little daylight between the two sides, this looks like a genuinely close contest on the numbers alone.

Rondón's the man to watch up top

Pachuca's S. Rondón has ten goals in nine matches, easily the standout scoring record on show here, well ahead of Monterrey's L. Ocampos on five from seven. That's a real point of threat for the away side regardless of the venue.

A handful of players on both sides have picked up a red card in recent matches, including Monterrey's C. Salcedo and S. Medina and Pachuca's C. Rivera and Eduardo Bauermann. That's just a disciplinary note from recent games, not confirmation that anyone's missing this one.

Rondón's goal output makes Pachuca dangerous even as the away team.
