Santiago Gimenez: Without Pablo Aguilar, Luis Romo, Bryan Angulo and Jonathan Rodriguez, the responsibility for goals will fall on this striker. Cruz Azul needs goals and Santi Gimenez has already shown his quality.

Victor Guzman: This attacking midfielder was quite participative in the last game against Leon. His speed and intelligence to assist and kick outside the area can be a danger for Cruz Azul.

Corona, Reyes, Dominguez, Jimenez, Escobar, Baca, Rivero, Yotun, Alvarado, Pineda y Gimenez.

Ustari, Herrera, Cabral, Aguirre, Catalan, Sanchez, Ibarra, Guzman, Chavez, Quiroga y Pardo.

The central referee of this Pachuca vs Cruz Azul will be Edgar Allan Morales; Miguel Angel Hernandez, first line; Karen Janett Diaz, second line; Oscar Mejia, fourth assistant. 

'La Maquina' arrives with the obligation to achieve the first victory of the tournament as they are the only team (as well as Atlas) that hasn't been able to score a single point in the Guard1anes 2021. Juan Reynoso knows that his team must improve quickly and get out of the crisis of their elimination in the last tournament. Cruz Azul is at the bottom of the table with Atlas after two defeats (Santos and Puebla).

Tuzos have had an insipid start to the Guard1anes 2021. For this semester, there were few teams that decided to reinforce, but Pachuca was one of them that opted to integrate three players into their ranks. However, Pezzolano is beginning to feel pressure because his team hasn't been good in goal since last year's tournament. The Tuzos have two points in this Guard1anes 2021 as a result of two draws (Juárez and Leon). In their most recent match, they drew 0-0 against the Leon.

 

The Pachuca vs Cruz Azul match will be played at the stadium Miguel Hidalgo, in Pachuca, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:00pm ET.
