General match analysis
Pumas UNAM are yet to win at home, but they drew one and lost one of their two such matches, while Necaxa have lost 100% of their away games. Necaxa concede an average of 3.00 goals per away match, have kept no clean sheets and allow opponents chances worth an average of 2.80 xG. Pumas do have a finishing problem at home, as they are yet to score despite registering 12 shots and 64% possession, but they create an average of 1.33 xG—clearly more than Necaxa’s 0.83 xG away from home. Neither team is in good form, but the hosts have collected 5 points from four league matches, whereas the visitors have lost 4 of their last 5 games and conceded as many as 11 goals in that run. The superior quality of chances and Necaxa’s extremely poor away defensive record point towards Pumas finally breaking their duck in front of their home fans.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The BTTS - Yes pick is supported by the fact that both teams have seen goals at both ends in 100% of their matches this season, and neither has kept a clean sheet so far. Pumas average 1.67 goals at home with an xG of 2.04, while Necaxa concede as many as 3.00 goals away from home and allow opponents an xG of 2.80, making a home goal highly likely. Necaxa have weaker season-long attacking output, averaging 1.00 goal with an xG of 0.83, but their xG has risen to 1.57 across their last five matches, while Pumas have conceded an average of 1.40 goals. In addition, the visitors recorded BTTS in 80% of their last five games, and Pumas have yet to keep a clean sheet this season, outweighing the hosts’ lower 40% BTTS rate over this short period.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Pumas have built a very strong attacking profile at home: their average xG is 2.04, while Necaxa allow as much as 2.80 xG away from home and concede 3.00 goals per match. The hosts average 18.33 shots, including 7.33 on target, while Necaxa have failed to keep a clean sheet in any match this season. On the other hand, the visitors score an average of 1.00 goal and have both scored and conceded in every game, increasing the likelihood of at least two goals in total. In their last five matches, Necaxa conceded an average of 2.20 goals, and 80% of their games went Over 2.5 goals. The strongest signal, however, remains Over 1.5, as both teams have seen at least two goals in 100% of their matches this season, while Pumas' attacking advantage over the visitors' defense clearly supports this line.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a Pumas win, as the hosts were level at the break in 67% of their home matches, with this outcome occurring twice in their last five games. Pumas improve markedly after the interval: they score an average of 1.67 goals, win the second half in 67% of matches, and have not lost any of them. Necaxa were behind at half-time in 100% of their away appearances, while in their last five matches they conceded an average of 1.4 goals before the break and scored just 0.2. Pumas also hold a clear edge in chance quality: their average xG stands at 2.04 compared with Necaxa’s 0.83, while the hosts record 7.33 shots on target per match against 2.00 for their opponents. The visitors have lost 100% of their away matches and conceded an average of 3.0 goals in them, so an even start should more often turn into a final victory for the hosts.
