WLLWWW 📈

Necaxa, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 1-2 Liga MX (Clausura) victory versus Club Tijuana.

• have not been beaten in their last 2 home league matches.

Pachuca

WDDWLW

Pachuca will go into the match following a 1-0 Liga MX (Clausura) win in the defeat of Club América in their previous outing.

The only scorer from Pachuca was Salomón Rondón (20').

Pachuca have been a threat going forward in their most recent fixtures, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Pachuca have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same outings.

• are winless against Necaxa when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league matches.
• are without an away win for the past 4 matches in the league.

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Necaxa boss Nicolás Larcamón to contend with from of an almost fully healthy squad. Agustín Oliveros (Shin injury) won’t play.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Pachuca and Necaxa should be able to score more than one goal each in what is shaping up to be a fairly even contest.

While there should be goals at both ends, it’s too close to call. That’s why we have predicted a really entertaining tussle with a score draw at the end of this game.
