Necaxa form and stats
4 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats. That’s what Necaxa have to build on here at Estadio Victoria de Aguascalientes in the Liga MX.
Necaxa are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Puebla. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Monterrey that ended 1-1.
Luis Malagón had a busy but productive day in the Puebla match. Despite making nine saves the loss could not be prevented.
There will be little rest for Necaxa after this match as they are travelling to Santos Laguna for a Liga MX game in only three days.

Pachuca form and stats
3-4-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Pachuca, who have the fewest conceded goals (4) away in Liga MX, in their Liga MX matches away. Pachuca are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Santos Laguna fixture. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on P. Pezzolano Suárez, the Pachuca manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Two away games in a row for Pachuca, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus America in the Liga MX. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Guadalajara.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Tijuana in just four days.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Pachuca are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 4 away goals have been conceded so far. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
