General match analysis

Pachuca have a clear edge over the last five matches, scoring 8 goals and conceding 4, compared with Necaxa’s 5 scored and 12 conceded. The hosts won 2 matches in that period, while the visitors failed to win any and suffered 4 defeats. At home, Pachuca create chances worth an average xG of 2.1, compared with Necaxa’s 1.35 away from home, and also average 6 shots on target against their opponents’ 3.25. However, Pachuca’s home finishing is not particularly strong: they score an average of 1.5 goals from 20.25 shots, while both teams concede 2 goals per match in these conditions. This limits confidence in the pick, but Necaxa’s recent defensive struggles and Pachuca’s greater volume of chances point to a home win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

BTTS has landed in 83% of Pachuca’s home matches and 100% of Necaxa’s away matches, significantly more often than the league average of 57%. Both teams concede an average of 2.0 goals per match in these conditions, and neither has kept a clean sheet, increasing the likelihood of each side scoring. Pachuca creates an average of 1.67 xG at home, while Necaxa allows up to 2.19 xG away, making a home goal look likely. The visitors score an average of 1.0 goals away and have found the net in every such match so far, although Pachuca’s improved recent defence, conceding 0.8 goals across five matches, makes the prediction less certain. Despite this caveat, the record of both defences and the frequency of goals scored by each side so far point to BTTS - Yes.

Over/Under - goals analysis

Pachuca went over 1.5 goals in 83% of their home matches, while Necaxa did so in 100% of their away games, making Over 1.5 the strongest signal. Both teams concede an average of 2.0 goals in these conditions, and neither has kept a clean sheet, limiting the likelihood of a low-scoring outcome. The hosts have an xG of 1.67, while their opponents allow an xG of 2.19, giving Pachuca a solid basis to score more than once. In their last five matches, Necaxa conceded an average of 2.4 goals, although Pachuca allowed opponents just 0.8 goals per game over the same period. This contrast calls for caution on higher goal lines, but with a projected total of 3.10 goals, the case for Over 1.5 remains strong.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome: Pachuca were level at the break in 67% of their matches so far, and Necaxa in 75%; neither team had a half-time lead in this period. After the break, the advantage should lie with the hosts, who have averaged 1.0 goals scored and none conceded in second halves across their last five matches, while Necaxa have averaged 0.2 goals scored and 1.4 conceded. Pachuca’s recent form also supports a home win: they have averaged 1.6 points per match, compared with Necaxa’s 0.2. The hosts also average 1.67 xG, while their opponents allow chances worth 2.19 xG per match, strengthening the case for X/1.
