Liga MX Torneo Apertura 2015 Continues on Telemundo & NBC Universo This Weekend

NBC DEPORTES presents Week 7 of the Liga MX Torneo Apertura 2015 with Pachuca vs. Atlas, this Saturday, August 29 at 9PM/8C/6P live from Hidalgo Stadium and airing simultaneously on TELEMUNDO, NBC UNIVERSO and NBCDeportes.com digital platforms. The match will be narrated by the award-winning Andrés Cantor, joined by the veteran Sammy Sadovnik and with the unique commentary of three-time top Mexican scorer Carlos Hermosillo.

Pachuca is in thirteenth place in the league tables with six points following a disappointing 3-2 loss to Puebla, which came back to win their last game after being down 2-0. Saturday's match will be a test for Coach Diego Alonso, who helped the team reach the semifinals last season and win its first two game in the current one. Ariel Nahuelpán, Pachuca's top scorer and the second best in the league, was suspended because of a locker room incident and will only see action against Atlas if his sanction is revoked.

Despite having the same points total as Pachuca, Atlas ranks two places below it taking into account number of goals scored. After making major changes to its lineup, the team has chalked up some important victories, including a 3-1 win over América at Azteca Stadium in Week 2. They appear to be benefiting from the strategy of Coach Gustavo Matosas, who has led both América and León to championships in the past.

Atlas lost to Pachuca 3-1 the last two times the teams have met. Its most recent win over the "Tuzos" was on February 1, 2014, with an end result of 1-0 at Hidalgo Stadium. With 12 weeks left to go this season, both teams have a chance to make it to the top eight to qualify for the playoffs.
