Atletico San Luis host Pachuca at Estadio Alfonso Lastras Ramirez on Sunday, August 23 (7:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM CT / 4:00 PM PT).
Atletico San Luis and Pachuca both arrive with clean bills on the injury front, at least as far as confirmed absences go, so the shape of this preview leans on who’s actually been doing the damage. For the hosts, Rafa Llorente leads the way with 2 goals from 9 shots and 4 of those on target, while David Rodriguez has matched his goal output with 1 strike from an identical 9 attempts. Pachuca’s main outlet is Salomon Rondon, who has 3 goals from 9 shots this term, with Elias Montiel adding 1 goal of his own and Oussama Idrissi’s 6 chances created making him the creative hub behind them.
San Luis have failed to win in their last 4 matches (L D D L), including a 3-0 defeat at Club America and a 2-3 home loss to Cruz Azul, with a scoreless draw against Club Tijuana their only real sign of defensive control. Pachuca’s own form has been patchy going the other way, with a 3-0 win at Pumas UNAM followed by a 1-2 home defeat to Queretaro FC and a 1-0 loss at Club Leon (W L L). With both sides light on end-to-end quality recently, this looks set up as a tight, low-scoring affair at Estadio Libertad Financiera.

Atletico San Luis vs Pachuca Prediction
This has the makings of a low-event, cagey affair, and Signal’s model backs Pachuca to nick it. Salomon Rondon’s 3 goals from 9 shots give the visitors the sharper edge in front of goal, while Atletico San Luis’s defense, breached 3 times by Club America and 3 times by Cruz Azul in their last 4 matches, has looked open enough to concede without offering much going the other way. Expect Pachuca to edge it 0-1.
