Preview: Liga MX Clash Features In-Form Toluca Against Pachuca

MEXICO CITY (Interstat) — Two of Liga MX’s most historic clubs will meet Sunday when Toluca visits Pachuca in a pivotal league match.

The game at Estadio Hidalgo is scheduled for March 22, 2026. It marks the second meeting of the season between the sides, who played to a 2-2 draw in Toluca last October.

Toluca (6-2-3) enters the match in strong form, unbeaten in its last five Liga MX contests. Its most recent result was a 1-1 home draw with Atlas on March 14. Prior to that, the team secured convincing wins over Pumas UNAM and Necaxa, and a dominant 3-1 victory in an international friendly against Finland’s FC JJK Jyvaskyla on March 8.

Pachuca (5-3-3) looks to rebound at home after a 1-1 road draw with Atletico San Luis last weekend. Its form has been inconsistent, mixing impressive wins, like a 2-1 victory at Tigres UANL on Feb. 20, with surprising losses, including a 1-0 defeat at Mazatlan on Feb. 27.

The statistical service Interstat projects a 1-1 draw, mirroring the result from their last encounter.

Toluca’s attack has been potent, scoring multiple goals in four of its last five league matches. Pachuca’s defense, which conceded three goals in its last two home games, will face a significant test.

Following this match, Pachuca will visit Cruz Azul on April 4. Toluca’s next Liga MX fixture is at Queretaro on April 5.

Sunday’s matchup could have implications for the league table as the season progresses. Toluca will aim to extend its unbeaten run, while Pachuca seeks a statement win in front of its home supporters to solidify its standing.
