Pachuca form and stats

When playing at home in the Liga MX, Pachuca have managed 2 wins, 0 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 4 games.

A nice win for Pachuca last time playing, versus Necaxa. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Avilés Hurtado scoring for the victors. Attacking player Avilés Hurtado bettered all the other footballers in that game and was awarded a match rating of 8.05 out of 10. Hurtado scored one goal, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.

Heartbreak before that as Pachuca lost 0-1 at Guadalajara's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Pachuca perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pachuca as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Pachuca has won five of these, drawn two and lost four.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Pachuca as they are travelling to their away game against Puebla in the Liga MX. That match is three days after this one.

A decent goal production from Pachuca in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. Pachuca have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
