Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Queretaro and Pachuca. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET will be held at Corregidora Stadium in Queretaro and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN Deportes.
As the old adage goes: Pachuca are consistently inconsistent. The club followed a season opening victory against Cruz Azul with an inexplicable 1-0 loss to Monterrey on Saturday. Despite having successful Clausura run, there were murmurs surrounding the security of Enrique Meza's job. They were immediately distinguished by Vice President Andres Fassi.
"There are are no problems," Fassi said (via La Copa). "We've already talked to the coaching staff and seen the various viewpoints that they have. At this club, we handle things internally."
In order to avoid further speculation, Pachuca must find better form in Queretaro.
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Seeking goals of their own, Queretaro will rely on the cultured foot of Camilo Sanvezzo. The 26-year-old opened his Apertura account with a match-winner against Universidad de Guadalajara on Sunday.
Queretaro's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Hernandez; Corral, Martinez, Corona, Osorio; Osuna, Sinha, William; Sanvezzo, Silva, Danilinho
Pachuca's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Perez; Olvera, Herrera, Rodriguez, Pizarro; Ayovi, Hernandez; Lozano, Alustiza, Damm; Nahuelpan
