Open the season with aan away vistory to Veracruz , the only goal of the match came when MF Ignacio Carrasco took a middlefield shoot that took Veracruz GK I. Villaseñor out of place and covert into goal. The team then laid back and suffer from attack of Veracruz but his GK Miguel Muñoz showed his quality and don't allowed Veracruz to score, even stopped a last shoot of Veracruz John Restrepo, which determinate the victory from Morelia, which came from three consecutive defeats in Interliga and to open the tournament with an away victory is a good thing.

In that match they scored first, but is still to be seen if they are able to comeback when they are behind on the score. The team has to work trough during this match as Pachuca seems to have recover and will not commit the same mistakes as Veracruz. In balance they came from giving an awful image in Interliga and altought the away victory against Veracruz seems to delete that, the truth is that it will only help on the animic side.

Pachuca

Current Numbers: 1GP - 1W- 0D - 0L 1GF 0GA 3 points

After the fiasco of FIFA Club World Cup where in the first match they dispute where sent home, Pachuca open Clausura tournament against Tecos UAG, but the best news was the full return of GK Miguel Calero, which has a medical problem most of last season and just dispute the opener of FIFA club World Cup. But now a month later the GK seems better altought in his words he seems to have work left to reach 100%, but in the few chances he had to confront he make a good job.

Furthermore Pachuca get back to the winning track in home, something that hasn't happen since September precisely the last game of Calero with them in last tournament, they draw three and lost four, and altought the scoreline is just 1-0, the truth is that the team dominate the match and generate more scoring chances but where unable to convert them and have to comform with FW Juan Carlos Cacho goal.

Pachuca seems to be back and know a well rested team has showed they continue to have quality playmaking, and I consider that Pachuca will have control of the ball and use their many combinations on attack.

Injured:

MF Christian Giménez

Match:

A very interesting match, Morelia let the rival play as also Pachuca does. But I see Pachuca more fit as they seem better in this first match and Tecos UAG demand more than Veracruz to Morelia. I sense that Morelia defense will posses a great work lead from Pachuca attack.

Prediction:

The return of Miguel Calero to Pachuca lineup was positive and I expecte the team to continue in that positive line, the media isn't focus on them and this gave a good environment to develop. Also their gameplay seems to have improve and against Tecos they had the ball control, something that in this match will be repeat, as Morelia against Veracruz due to the early advantage set back to defend. I sense Pachuca has a very good chance to take a victory here. And a 0 AH line is very good.
