Rayados de Monterrey prepares to host the Tuzos del Pachuca in a crucial matchup of the Serie A Play-In in the Clausura 2025 of Liga MX. Both teams, after failing to meet expectations in the tournament, are playing for the chance to secure their spot in the upcoming Liguilla of Mexican football as the seventh qualifier, which would allow them to face the Águilas del América.
The match will take place at the 'Gigante de Acero' where Rayados will seek to capitalize on their victory in the last round against León, leaving Pachuca behind, who was defeated by San Luis. Despite the absence of Sergio Canales, the team coached by Martín Demichelis has shown improvement in recent matches and has managed to find its best level amid the controversy surrounding the coach's alleged witch and a black cat on the field.
On the other hand, Guillermo Almada's team continues to stand out for its offensive play and the presence of young talents. The match between Monterrey and Pachuca will be held this Sunday, April 27, at the Estadio BBVA at 7:30 PM. Fans will be able to enjoy the broadcast on open TV, paid TV, and streaming platforms.
In case of failing to qualify as seventh, the loser of this match will have one last opportunity facing the winner of the clash between FC Juárez and UNAM Pumas in the Play-In to determine the eighth qualifier for the Liguilla, who will face the Diablos del Toluca.
