Team analysis: Pumas
The home team enters this second round following a disappointing 3-0 defeat in their league opener against Santos Laguna. They tend to perform better at home, with their last 30 matches yielding 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 defeats away, contrasted with 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses at home. In their last 10 home fixtures across all competitions, Pumas have achieved 4 victories, 3 draws, and 3 defeats. Defensively, they have struggled, conceding goals in 8 of their last 10 matches, yet they have been regular in scoring, netting in 7 of those games. In 15 encounters, they have only managed to recover from losing positions in 2 of the 10 matches where they conceded first.
Pumas suffered a strong defeat in their opener, highlighting the urgent need for adjustments in several areas. The team struggled with marking and displayed limited offensive creativity, a cause for concern among their supporters. When playing at home, a more aggressive and focused approach is anticipated, aiming to take control early in the match. The pressure for a swift response could serve as motivation, but maintaining composure will be crucial to avoid repeating the mistakes from their opening match.
Team analysis: Pachuca
The visiting side comes into this second round full of confidence after a 3-0 victory in their league opener against Monterrey. Pachuca historically performs better at home, with their last 30 matches showing 5 wins, 2 draws, and 8 losses when visiting; while at home, they have recorded 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses.
