Telemundo presents the Week 7 matchup of the Liga MX Torneo Clausura 2015: Pachuca vs. León, this Saturday, February 21 at 9PM/8C/6PT, live from Pachuca, Hidalgo. Joining voices to present this eagerly awaited encounter will be the award-winning Andrés Cantor, former Chivas de Guadalajara star player Manuel Sol, and three-time top Mexican scorer Carlos Hermosillo. Fans can also enjoy all of the action in the Hidalgo state capital on DeportesTelemundo.com digital platforms, the Deportes Telemundo EN VIVO EXTRA app for mobile devices, and play by play on Twitter @telemundosports.

Pachuca, led by Uruguayan coach Diego Alonso, is fresh from a 3-1 win over Atlas in an away game last Saturday. This important victory puts it back on track after starting off the season with some ups and downs, and suggests its young stars Jürgen Damm and Hirving Lozano have finally found their groove.

León enjoyed its first win at home this season last Saturday, beating the University of Guadalajara's Leones Negros 2-1. The result puts the team in 9th place in the league standings with 8 points earned from two consecutive wins, 2 ties and 2 losses. After being sidelined for 8 months following a serious fracture in a game with the Mexican national team, Luis "Chapo" Montes took the field with his team against Pumas de la UNAM and Leones Negros, and he may play in Saturday's game against Pachuca this Saturday.

Pachuca and León have an interesting history that make this week's match especially compelling. In the 17 times they have played each other since winter 1996, Pachuca has won 8 games, with 6 ties and just 3 wins for León. The teams contested the championship final game in the Torneo Clausura 2014, a series that culminated in a win for León in a return match at Hidalgo Stadium with a final score of 4-3.
