- Pachuca won the most recent meeting 3-0 back in April

Two of Liga MX's finest will go head-to-head this week in Leagues Cup knockout stage action as Tigres UANL take on Pachuca.
Tigres booked their place in the Leagues Cup Round of 32 after a pair of 2-1 victories over Puebla and Inter Miami to finish atop East Group 3. The Mexican giants will look to keep the momentum rolling in their matchup against fellow Liga MX side Pachuca in a bid to reach the Round of 16.
Even though Pachuca never won outright in 90 minutes in the group stage, Guillermo Almada's team still did enough to advance to the Round of 32. The reigning CONCACAF Champions Cup winners picked up two points in a penalty shootout win over MLS side New York Red Bulls before falling against Toronto, meaning the Mexican club joined TFC out of East Group 6 in reaching the knockout stage.

Pachuca will give it all they've got against a fellow Liga MX club, but Tigres simply have too much quality in every position to not come away with the win at Q2 Stadium.
