América host Pachuca in Liga MX, with the home side top of the table on 27 points from 12 matches, while the visitors sit 16th with 13 points from 13 matches. The two teams need points from this game in different ways: the hosts want to hold on to top spot, while Pachuca need to pull as far clear of the lower zone as they can. América have just won two league games in a row with scorelines that leaked goals at both ends, most recently a 5-2 win, while Pachuca have lost two in a row and are without a win in three. The visitors' defence is the area that gets picked apart most often, but their attack still scores in every recent match except the 0-1 defeat. This game should be open from the start, because both teams have a high tendency to concede in the first half: Pachuca concede 33% of all their goals in the first half, and América also concede in the first half often. If Pachuca defend tightly and don't give América room to take an early lead, the game will end close and the goals won't be far apart, which is the route that lets the visitors take points home.
