The highly anticipated match between CF Pachuca and CF América is set for Monday, January 19, 2026, at the Estadio Hidalgo, during Matchday 3 of the Primera División. Both teams are eager to improve their standings early in the season, with CF Pachuca coming off a recent victory and CF América seeking to recover from a disappointing loss in their last match.
Recent performance for CF Pachuca has been a mix of ups and downs, capturing 2 wins but also suffering 3 defeats in their last five matches across all competitions. Their latest game ended favorably with a 2-1 victory against Club León, highlighting their ability to score, though they’ve conceded a total of 10 goals during this period, which points to some defensive weaknesses. Currently positioned mid-table, Pachuca is coached by Esteban Solari, who has implemented a tactical strategy focused on ball control and offensive opportunities. However, to build on their recent win, Pachuca must bolster their defense, especially when facing a strong opponent like CF América, known for its attacking talent.
Conversely, CF América is struggling, registering only 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 defeats in their last five games. Their latest match resulted in a 0-2 home defeat to Atlético San Luis, exposing concerns surrounding their attacking efficiency and defensive resilience. Over five matches, América has scored only 4 goals while allowing 11, making their current form a pressing issue. Under André Jardine, the team usually takes an aggressive approach but will need to adapt tactically to regain their competitive edge. Positioned precariously in the league standings, this match represents a critical opportunity for América to recover momentum.
The historical context adds another layer to this matchup, with CF América having won their last direct encounter 2-0. In their last five meetings, América has triumphed three times, compared to Pachuca’s single victory and one draw. This trend may provide a psychological advantage for América as they prepare for this fixture.
Analyzing recent performances, Pachuca’s last five games include 2 wins and 3 losses, while América’s run is less favorable with just 1 win and 4 losses. The latest results indicate Pachuca’s recent success against León, in contrast to América’s struggles against Atlético San Luis.
Considering these factors, our betting tip leans towards an away win for CF América, with odds of 2.20 at Paripesa. Additionally, there’s promise in betting on both teams to score, available at odds of 1.73, given the offensive strengths and defensive vulnerabilities apparent on both sides.
As the teams gear up for this gripping match at Estadio Hidalgo, fans can look forward to a thrilling encounter filled with potential for both sides to showcase their abilities and improve their form early in the season.
