After the disappointing draw against Al Hilal, Real Madrid needs a decisive victory to make up for the missed points and to solidify their ambitions for the top. Chabi Alonso's team allowed surprisingly many opportunities in defense, and the missed penalty in the last minutes cost them the full turnaround in the first match. However, now the motivation to return to the winning path is even greater, and the clash with Pachuca seems like the perfect opportunity.
Pachuca allows too manyThe Mexicans started the competition with a loss to Salzburg and once again showed indecisiveness in defense, conceding a late goal and missing the opportunity to at least snatch a point. However, Pachuca's problems are not recent - inconsistent performances throughout the season and a lack of effectiveness in attack in the last matches put the team in a disadvantageous position against the classy opponent.
Prediction: Victory for Real Madrid and over 3.5 goalsConsidering Real's offensive potential and Pachuca's unstable defense, expectations are for a high-scoring match with a dominance of "los blancos". Madrid will seek an expressive victory and it would not be surprising if we see at least four goals in this match.
