Monterrey and Pachuca will clash in the final event of 2017, when they face off in the Copa MX final. The late final comes at a time where both teams are coming down from tournaments of higher importance. Monterrey is coming from the bigger fall after disappointingly losing the Liga MX final against city rivals Tigres at home, while Pachuca arrive after a third place finish at the Club World Cup. Coincidentally, it will also be a rematch from the 2016 Liga MX Apertura Final that gave Pachuca their last league title with a last minute Victor Guzman goal.
