Versus Salzburg they had plenty of chances and should have scored on one of their 19 shots attempts but they could not capitalize and only had 4 shots on target. Salzburg actually had more with 6 and had some chances to steal the win.

Pachuca Preview

Pachuca looked ok to start their match vs Salzburg on Matchday 1, but it was the Austrians who scored first in the 42′. Pachuca drew level in the 56′, but Salzburg scored again in the 76′ to get the 2-1 win.

On Matchday 2, they were given a gift they could never unwrap as Madrid were reduced to 10 men just 7 minutes into the game. Despite putting up 25 shot attempts and 11 on target, Madrid would score the game’s first three goals and Pachuca could not score until the 80′ minute, ultimately losing 3-1 and thus eliminating them from the tournament.

Pachuca were 8th at 8-4-5 in the Clausura, scoring 29 and allowing 23. They advanced to the playoffs and won 2-1 in the first round over Monterrey, but fell short in the quarterfinals to Club America with a 0-0 draw and 2-0 loss.

Their final few weeks weren’t great, going 1-2-2 and scoring only 3 goals in those 5 games. Before those final 5 games though they had scored in 11 straight.

Venezuelan Salomon Rondon led the way with 14G/5A followed by Brazilian John Kennedy with 9G/1A. If you’re looking to add some shot props on the Pachuca side you could look there.

Considering they were 16th in the Apertura the season prior, it’s been down times lately for the Tuzos. However, go back to June 2024 and they lifted the CONCACAF Champions Cup trophy, which got them their spot in this tournament.

Al Hilal vs Pachuca Prediction

Pachuca has not been impressive and still lost by multiple goals playing up a man for a full game. Al Hilal have looked strong but have not been able capitalize on their chances, clearly missing the injured Mitrovic. Still, they need a win to have any chance of advancing. If they win and there is a winner between Madrid and Salzburg, they’ll move on. There’s also a chance if a 3-way tie on 5 points if the other game draws which brings in a ton of tiebreakers.
