✨ Prediction
We’re thinking that Pachuca will most probably dominate possession and create several successful chances.
However, Universidad Nacional will be up against it to break down their defence but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 3-1 win for Pachuca at the conclusion of the game.
