⭐ Editor's Prediction
Pachuca look like the clear favourites here, especially given the momentum they've built after that opening-match thrashing. Strong form at home and the backing of the Estadio Hidalgo crowd should be the deciding factors. Querétaro are still searching for something going forward, and breaking down a well-organised Pachuca defence won't be easy. The bookmakers back the hosts for a reason - they see a more balanced and higher-quality side. We expect Pachuca to take control and see it out comfortably. A 1-0 win looks likely.
