Pachuca CF
- Pachuca CF are 11th in Liga MX 2026/2027 with 12 points from 10 games, while visitors Necaxa are 17th with 8 points from the same number of games.
- The Tuzos are the favorites here at 1.66, but Los Rayos' need to win could prevent this from being a home walkover on Sunday.
- Benjamin Mora's side will attempt to run at the visitors on Sunday, but they have been struggling recently - going winless in 4 at home with two draws and two defeats.
Necaxa
- Necaxa have managed just 4 goals in 4 away games in Liga MX 2026/2027 - which isn't great and neither are their results - 2 draws and 2 defeats.
- Juan Reynoso will get them to press harder and be more compact, but that doesn't always guarantee success.
Head-to-Head
- Pachuca have won the last 5 meetings between the clubs, including 2-1 at home in the Liga MX 2025/2026 campaign.
- Necaxa have failed to win any of their last 3 away games against Pachuca CF.
Key Players
- Julian Carranza leads the goalscoring charts for Los Rayos with 6 in 9 Liga MX 2026/2027 games, while Owen Gonzalez has provided 2 in his last 5 outings, giving them a decent goal threat, which Pachuca will need to be wary of.
- Pachuca's Jose Salomon Rondon has been on fire with 10 goals in 10 Liga MX 2026/2027 matches and 5 of his team's last 8, so the goal markets may just be with the hosts here.
Betting Insights
Both teams to score at 1.62 does appeal, but the *Over 2.5 goals at 1.62 bet fits Pachuca's average of 1.50 scored and 2.00 conceded** per home match in Liga MX 2026/2027 a little better as Reynoso won't want to leave it that open on the road. Prediction
- With Jose Salomon Rondon's form and Julian Carranza's threat, both teams scoring* or the Over 2.5 market look like plausible outcomes, though the match could remain tight given Necaxa's compact setup.
