Pachuca is expected to play with a 4-3-3 formation with Roberto Dela Rosa leading the attack. Although Pachuca is down on Romario Ibarra, Pau de la Fuente and Oscar Murillo for the game, it has tough players like Luis Chavez, who is likely to continue with his determined gameplay as the previous games. Pachuca’s home form is excellent with 11 wins compared to its away form with 5 wins. 

Going into the game, Necaxa is coming off a win against Necaxa (1-0), and three consecutive defeats before that. Necaxa hasn’t won an away game in their last 11 matches. Necaxa will be missing out on Arturo Palma due to a muscle injury. Nexeca is most likely to struggle against Pachuca and needs more consistency in its gameplay. Necaxa's conceding average is 1.57 goals per game in Liga MX, which needs to be minimized. 

Going into the game, I would predict Pachuca to take the win and score over 1.5 goals. If the visitors manage to score, the predicted scoreline would be 2-1. Therefore, both teams are likely to score, as the previous head to head stats suggest.
