In the last 5 matches Pachuca have a 3-2-0 record with 8 goals scored and 2.2 points per game, whereas Santos over their last 5 are 2-1-2 with 6 goals and 1.4 PPG. xG metrics show the hosts create better chances: average xG for Pachuca at home is 1.53 versus 1.12 xG for Santos away, and xG against is 1.11 for Pachuca and 1.97 for Santos, indicating clear defensive issues for the visitors. Pachuca also average more shots (14.69 vs 9.67) and more on target (4.75 vs 3.67) with comparable finishing rates (9% vs 10%), and the hosts have 25% of matches with a clean sheet compared to 0% clean sheets for the visitors on the road. Considering the defensive edge, higher quality of created chances and better form (PPG 2.2 vs 1.4), I predict a Pachuca victory; probabilities estimated at 72% for the hosts, 16% for a draw and 12% for Santos.
