Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Pachuca and Atlas. The first-division clash scheduled for 9 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Hidalgo in Pachuca and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Telemundo.

Speaking ahead of today's match against Atlas, Pachuca manager admitted a recent lack of results should be alarming. "Who likes to lose? We should be alarmed," he said (via Medio Tiempo). "[The lack of results] should make us do our job the best way possible. My team depends heavily on collective work. When we don't perform well collectively, I'm not talking about playing beautifully, then there's a lot to do and we become vulnerable."

Pachuca will look to avoid another vulnerable performance at home this evening.

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: No player has created more chances for Pachuca this season than Hirving Lozano. The 19-year-old enters today's match with a club-best 10 in addition to his one goal.
