Pachuca vs Toronto Betting Tips and Predictions | Football Park

With all three teams in East Group 6 still having the possibility of making it to the Round of 16 of the Leagues Cup, there is a lot on the line in this match of Pachuca vs Toronto FC.

Pachuca

Pachuca kicked off their Leagues Cup campaign with victory against New York Red Bulls via penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw inside 90 minutes.

Salomon Rodon, from striker of several Premier League sides, grabbing the equaliser in the 56th minute but Pachuca as a whole were not clinical enough. They dominated the possession stats but were out shot by New York by 10 attempts. Thankfully for their sake most off them were off target but Pachuca will need to step their game up if they want to see themselves into the next round.

Domestically and Pachuca have managed just 4 points from the 4 games of Liga MX that have happened this season. Rondon’s absence whilst he was competing in Copa America was notable as they have failed to score in 3 out of those 4 matches.

He will definitely be a key factor in Pachuca’s chances in winning this game as the Venezuelan has put the ball in the back of the net in 7 of his last 9 times in the starting XI for club and country.

Pachuca vs Toronto FC

Toronto FC

Like Pachuca, Toronto also needed penalties to beat fellow MLS club New York Red Bulls in their opening Leagues Cup match. Their game however finished in a goalless draw when the final whistle blew at 90 minutes.

The Canadian side have started to turn their season around as they have now won 3 out of 4 games across all competitions following a poor run in form from June to July where they lost 7 consecutive games. In the last two games they have played in particular, Toronto have managed to keep clean sheets in both of them, a stat they hadn’t done since April, a good omen before the game against Pachuca.

Toronto don’t have the pressure of desperately needing to win this match however as a draw would also see The Reds guaranteed to make it through to the next round.
