Rayados de Monterrey will visit Club Pachuca this Saturday, November 4 at 9:00 p.m. at Estadio Hidalgo for Matchday 16 of the Apertura 2023 Tournament.

Rayados has already qualified for the Final Phase of the competition; however, if they win, the team will get a direct pass to the Playoffs without having to play in the Play-In, the new Reclassification format of the Liga BBVA MX.

In the last five games between the two teams at Estadio Hidalgo, Monterrey has two wins, one draw and two defeats, which is why the team from Monterrey will be looking to take the advantage against the team from Hidalgo.

In the Clausura 2023 Tournament, Rayados and Pachuca faced each other in the "Bella Airosa", and the Rayados defeated the local team 2-1 with goals by Jesús Gallardo and Jordi Cortizo.

The team coached by Fernando Ortiz is in second place in the standings of best defenses in the tournament, with only 15 goals conceded, one behind América, the leader in this category.

The regio team is the team with the most youth players who have made their debut in the Apertura 2023 Tournament.

Víctor Lopez, Angel Jordán, César Bustos, César Garza, Isidro Suárez and Ricardo Rentería are the number of debutants Fernando Ortiz has added in the Regular Phase, and is one away from surpassing the record set by the team in the Apertura 2018, where 6 players also made their debuts.

Let's go, Rayados, for the win!
