General match analysis
Pachuca are showing more consistent recent form: they are unbeaten in their last five matches, recording 2 wins and 3 draws, while Santos Laguna have lost 2 of their last five games. Away from home, the visitors win 60% of their matches and average 1.8 goals, whereas Santos score just 0.5 goals per home game and have failed to score in 75% of their home fixtures. Pachuca’s defensive record also looks considerably stronger, conceding an average of 0.4 goals away from home and keeping a clean sheet in 60% of matches, compared with Santos conceding 0.75 goals at home. The hosts do create higher-quality chances, with an average xG of 1.72 versus Pachuca’s 1.43, but their very low conversion rate of 3% significantly limits their chances of capitalising on this advantage. The visitors’ superior efficiency, away record and current unbeaten run point to a narrow Pachuca victory as the most likely outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Santos Laguna have recorded BTTS in 100% of their matches so far, have not kept a single clean sheet and concede an average of 2.0 goals per game, strongly supporting a goal for Pachuca. Pachuca score an average of 1.8 goals, while their average xG over the last five matches stands at 1.88, compared with 1.93 xG conceded by Santos during that period. The hosts also create plenty of chances: their season xG is 2.10, and they average 20.25 shots and 6.0 shots on target per match. The main argument against BTTS - Yes is Pachuca’s highly solid defense, which keeps a clean sheet in 60% of matches and concedes only 0.4 goals per game over the season. However, both teams have recorded BTTS in 60% of their last five matches. The scenario in which both teams score is therefore marginally more likely, primarily due to Santos’ defensive weakness and the hosts’ high attacking output.
