REF’s picks

CF Cruz Azul are well-positioned to take all three points against a struggling CF Pachuca side that has managed just one win in their last five outings. Cruz Azul's higher table position and stronger attacking output make them a solid bet at 2.26 to secure the victory.

1. 1Cruz Azul sits comfortably in the top half of the table with consistent offensive performances.
2. 2Pachuca enters this fixture missing key squad members like Kenedy and Andrés Arroyo due to injuries.
3. 3Cruz Azul's away form can occasionally stutter, creating a window of opportunity for Pachuca to counter.
