Pachuca are much more potent than Necaxa right now
Odds and table:
The odds favor Pachuca CF this weekend at 1.66, ahead of the tie at 3.95 and Necaxa at 4.7, which doesn't quite fit in with the standings of these clubs in the Liga MX 2026/2027 table. Pachuca are 11th with 12 points from 10 matches, whereas Necaxa are 17th with 8 after the same number of games.
Recent form:
This should be a good matchup for Pachuca CF to get back on track after some disappointing results in the last month that have seen Benjamin Mora's men win two, tie two and lose one of their last five. A 3-0 away win over Atlante was followed by a 2-2 draw at home with Tijuana and a 1-0 defeat away to Santos Laguna last week.
Necaxa have been on a three-match losing streak after defeats to Atletico de San Luis away and CF America at home. Los Rayos are still awaiting their first away win of the season in Liga MX 2026/2027, after two draws and two defeats in 4.
Pachuca can win a wide open game
Tuzos are winless in their last 4 Liga MX 2026/2027 home matches (D2, L2) so home advantage won't mean much for Pachuca in this one. Both teams to score at 1.62 looks live and it should cover the scenario of a Pachuca win, but Over 2.5 goals at 1.62 fits Pachuca's home profile of 1.50 scored and 2.00 conceded per game much better.
Mora has Pachuca playing in an expansive 4-3-3 system that allows them to transition from front to back quickly, whereas Juan Reynoso must sharpen Necaxa up to be much more compact and to apply the pressure in a more consistent manner.
- Venezuela international Jose Salomon Rondon has been the chief goal poacher for Mora's team with 10 goals in 10 Liga MX 2026/2027 games and he has 5 of the team's last 8 strikes.
- Julian Carranza leads Necaxa's scoring charts with 6 goals from 9 games, with Owen Gonzalez chipping in with 2 of the club's last 5 goals.
