Leagues Cup: Pachuca vs. San Diego Picks — In-Form Mexicans to Continue Winning Sequence (Jul 29)

Pachuca will be one of the standout teams to win the Leagues Cup this summer, based on the strong form that they have shown in Liga MX so far this season.

They come into this matchday one assignment in California after winning each of their opening three matches in Mexico’s top flight, scoring an impressive seven goals in the process.

However, San Diego should be capable of putting down a challenge after a morale-boosting return to form in their previous outing after beating Nashville 1-0 to retain top spot in the Western Conference.

San Diego are unlikely to make many changes to the team that beat Nashville in their latest MLS fixture. However, William Kumado is set to miss out due to a hip issue.

Pachuca vs. San Diego Picks

San Diego have been one of the standout teams in the Western Conference this season, but their poor defensive record would be a notable concern ahead of this matchday one clash.

Therefore, the narrow preference is for Pachuca to kick off their Leagues Cup campaign with a victory in California.
