Pachuca and Necaxa meet often and the games almost always end with goals. Last time out Pachuca won 2-1 back in March, and before that there were 6-2 and 3-5 scorelines on show. This time, though, the shape of both sides is quite different from before, especially for Necaxa, who are drifting in the opposite direction. Pachuca just thrashed their last opponent 4-0, and before that there was a mix of a 3-0 win and a 2-2 draw. Necaxa, meanwhile, have lost 3 in a row, and a defence that has already conceded 20 goals in 10 matches is a number that says the back line is still not settled. The attack keeps scoring, but not enough to make up for how leaky they are. This game should open up from the start. Pachuca will control more of the play at home, and if the hosts score first, Necaxa will have to come out and chase it, which makes it likely the game opens up and goals come more frequently. The thing to watch is how quickly Pachuca can press their way to a goal, because if the hosts take the lead first, the game will flow in a direction where more goals are certain to follow.
