Scroll down for all of our predictions, poll and stats for the Universidad Nacional v Pachuca game (plus the best game odds).
Universidad Nacional will be looking for an improved result here after a 1-2 Primera (Clausura) Liguilla defeat last time out to Cruz Azul.
In that game, Universidad Nacional managed 47% possession and 12 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. For Universidad Nacional, the scorers were Robert Morales (31') and Duarte (54' Own goal). On the other side, Cruz Azul had 18 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Carlos Rotondi (95') scored for Cruz Azul.
Over their preceding six games, Esteban Solari's Universidad Nacional have found the net a total of 8 times, an average number of goals scored per match equal to 1.33.
The trend of at least one team not managing to score in games featuring Pachuca has become fairly consistent in recent matches. A glance at their last six outings shows that this has occurred 5 times. During those clashes, opposing sides have managed a goal total of 6 while Pachuca have scored 5. However, it remains to be seen whether that pattern shall be maintained in this match or not.
Inspecting their most recent head-to-head meetings stretching back to 17/02/2025 shows us that Universidad Nacional have won 2 of these & Pachuca 4, with the tally of draws standing at 0.
A combined sum of 16 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 7 of them for Pumas and 9 coming from Los Tuzos. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.67.
In an otherwise available squad, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the Pachuca manager Benjamin Mora to be concerned about. Alan Mozo (Fracture of fibula shaft) won’t be in action.
We feel that in this game, Pachuca are likely to score a goal against this Universidad Nacional outfit, but it possibly won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We can see a narrow 2-1 advantage for Universidad Nacional at the end of the match. It should be a decent one.
Regarding the current betting odds in the WDW market, a victory for Universidad Nacional can be had for 2.25, a bet on a drawn result is 3.4 & selecting the win for Pachuca can be had at 2.82. They are the top bets on offer at the moment.
