Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Pachuca in 7th and Necaxa in 10th place.
Pachuca and Necaxa should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Pachuca form and stats
Pachuca have collected 12 points from their Liga MX home games so far after 3-3-2. The home fans are hungry for more even though Pachuca have been steadily collecting points here at Estadio Hidalgo through three straight draws.
A good away victory last time out for Pachuca, who won 2-0 against Tijuana (placed 15th). Before that, Pachuca drew at home versus Pumas UNAM.
Pachuca are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. Pachuca have conceded 9 in these home matches.
Necaxa form and stats
2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Necaxa playing as the away team in the Liga MX this season. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Necaxa hope to make it five in this match. Necaxa love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Necaxa go into this game after a win, the home game against Toluca that ended 3-2. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Queretaro at their stadium, the result 1-0.
The end of the last match, against Toluca, was very satisfying as Alex Zendejas scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Necaxa have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
