Last two matches have been victories for Pachuca and San Luis have never defeat Pachuca.

Pachuca

Last league match goes back to March 10, where the team won 0-1 to Morelia. From that moment the team has been unable to play due that midweek match was postponed because they went to play on CONCACAF Champions Cup against Houston Dynamo and it was that match that was moved to Thursday due to an energy problem in the stadium they where going to play which lead that their weekend match move to late Sunday, and then move to another date as the players need time to recover.

Pachuca lost 2-0 to Houston Dynamo in CONCACAF Champions Cup, in a match where the team was clearly overpass and Dynamo score to good goals a bad resulst for a good away team, but the team still have the return leg to tie or won the serie and go to the final.

Pachuca is one of the best teams in the tournament and altought having two games pending is on third place of the tournament tied with Chivas and Atlas that have played one match more, and two points from Cruz Azul that has two matches more played. With a victory here the team could claim the first position if Cruz Azul and Chivas don't win the games they will have also in midweek.

Pachuca have good ball movement and a long squad with a good rotation system is to remakr that coach "Ojitos" Meza make the three substitutions every match what provides gameplay to more players. Also the team came rested as they don't play in weekend and all the squad is fit.

San Luis

The team face the leader of the tournament Cruz Azul in home and with their gameplay the team was able to take a very important victory as they show Cruz Azul deficiencies. The first time was something to forget as just some goal scoring chances, but the fight was on the middlefield. For San Luis this half show the expulsion of his coach at minute '38. Altought being expelled the coach will be able to sit on the bench as this is a game from a past round.

In second half, the team work well the match continue with their defensive laid back team counterattacking and score the first goal by MF Irenio Soares. A minute later the team was granted players superiority as Cruz Azul MF Gerardo Torrado was expelled from the match. The team take handy the advantage and at '85 minute score the goal that kill the match by conduct of FW Sebastiao "Didi" Pereira from a good pass of MF Braulio Luna. Braulio Luna have show his value and has been important in many matches since the start of the tournament showing that his came to the team was a positive thing. With the victory the team is just six points from securing avoiding relegation and this is a huge motivation as with two victories in the last six matches the team will be save.

San Luis have been irregular with their defensive laid back team, that focus on counterattack and slow attacking waiting for an error of the rival, but this haven't translate to many under games, as the club accumulates 5 over 2.5 matches, 50% of their games. An explication for this is their offensive strikers, with FW Sebastian Abreu and FW Sebastiao Pereira with seven goals between them, which is almost 50% of the team goals.

Match:

The match will be Pachuca attackind and proposing the game, meanwhile San Luis will be counterattacking and defending with as their first priority, still on away the team haven't show strong defence.

Prediction:

For O/U I feel that due to Pachuca good defence in home the match should be unders, but San Luis have a fair defense truth they have 8 goasl against, but four of those where in one match, so I expect Under 2.5 5/10
