Pachuca vs Santos Laguna: Key Matchup in Liga MX Clausura 2025

PACHUCA, Mexico — Santos Laguna and Pachuca will face off in a crucial Liga MX Clausura 2025 match on Monday, January 20, at 7:00 p.m. local time. The game, set to take place at Estadio Hidalgo, marks Pachuca’s debut in the tournament after their first-round match against León was postponed.

Santos Laguna enters the match seeking redemption after a disappointing 1-0 loss to Chivas in the opening round. The lone goal, scored by Roberto 'Piojo' Alvarado, left the Guerreros eager to bounce back. However, they will be without key players Anthony 'Choco' Lozano, who is suspended, and Franco Fagúndez, who is recovering from knee surgery.

Pachuca, meanwhile, is looking to make a strong start to their campaign. The Tuzos, led by their dynamic squad, aim to capitalize on Santos Laguna’s recent struggles. The match will be broadcast on ViX+ Premium and Tubi, marking a shift in broadcasting rights for Liga MX matches in Mexico and Central America.

‘We are excited to bring Liga MX to a wider audience through Tubi,’ said a spokesperson for the streaming platform. ‘This partnership ensures fans can enjoy high-quality football coverage for free.’

Both teams have announced their probable lineups. Santos Laguna will rely on players like Carlos Acevedo, José Abella, and Salomón Rondón, while Pachuca’s squad includes Carlos Moreno, Luis Rodríguez, and Oussama Idrissi. The clash promises to be a thrilling encounter as both sides vie for early momentum in the tournament.
