Charlotte
- Charlotte are unbeaten at home in the CONCACAF Leagues Cup 2026/2027 with 2 wins from 2, averaging 2.50 goals per match.
- Charlotte have had a perfect start to the CONCACAF Leagues Cup 2026/2027 campaign with 6 points from 2 games, sitting top of the standings after just 2 matches, and home advantage could well have a lot to do with that.
- Dean Smith's men are playing with control and structure, using a compact midfield base to set the tempo and spring quick transitions.
- Tyger Smalls is Charlotte's sharpest edge and he's shown he can find the net, scoring 2 goals in his first 2 matches in the competition.
Pachuca
- Pachuca have suffered 2 consecutive away defeats in the CONCACAF Leagues Cup 2026/2027, averaging 2.50 goals conceded.
- Pachuca CF have made a poor start to the competition and already find themselves 23rd in the standings with 0 points from their opening 2 games.
- Pachuca have lost 4 of their last 5 in all competitions, winning the other, and their most recent 2 results came away at FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew in the CONCACAF Leagues Cup 2026/2027.
- Mora is setting Pachuca up with more width and tempo, trying to overload the flanks and turn turnovers into chances fast, and they'll need that to be the case if they're going to get a result against a Charlotte side that are making a statement with their start to the campaign.

Betting Insights
We feel that the odds for this match are a little skewed towards the favourites at 2.3 , as Pachuca's pedigree in the CONCACAF and their current form should really put them as 2.6 underdogs here, with the draw sitting at 3.6 .
Prediction
However, Charlotte have been impressive and the home edge and current form points towards a Charlotte win or double chance selection, as well as over 1.5 goals .
