Why It Matters
Pachuca sits 12th on 12 points, three back of eighth place after Friday’s two Jornada 11 openers, with four Saturday fixtures still to play. A home win would pull the Tuzos right back into the Liguilla race. Necaxa is 17th on 8 points and has not won in eight league matches, so this is close to a must-win for the visitors if they want to stay in touch with the top half.
The hosts lost 1-0 at Santos Laguna last time out, ending a four-match unbeaten run, while Necaxa fell 4-2 at home to Club America. Both sides concede regularly, which sets up an open game at the Estadio Hidalgo.
Recent Form
Pachuca, last five league matches: 1-0 loss at Santos Laguna (September 26); 2-2 draw vs Tijuana (September 20); 3-0 win at Atlante (September 11); 2-0 win at FC Juarez (September 4); 1-1 draw vs Chivas de Guadalajara (August 29). That is two wins, two draws and one defeat.
Necaxa, last five league matches: 4-2 home loss vs Club America (September 27); 3-1 loss at Atletico San Luis (September 19); 1-0 home loss vs Puebla (September 11); 1-1 draw at Tigres UANL (September 5); 1-3 home loss vs Cruz Azul (August 28). No wins in five, and eight without a victory overall.
Team News
Pachuca’s main doubt is Brazilian winger Robert Kenedy, who was ruled out for three to four weeks on September 15 with a right hamstring injury suffered in the 3-0 win at Atlante, which puts his availability for Sunday in question. The club’s last published medical report also listed Jorge Berlanga in differentiated training, Alexei Domínguez working separately after a foot injury, and Andrés Arroyo recovering from foot surgery, all expected to remain out.
No fresh Necaxa injury news surfaced in the pre-match build-up. Captain Alexis Peña, a Pachuca academy product, leads a visiting squad with several former Tuzos, including Pedro Pedraza, Emilio Rodríguez and Owen González.
Head-to-Head
Pachuca won the most recent meeting 2-1 at Estadio Hidalgo on March 3, 2026, in the Clausura 2026. One to watch: Salomón Rondón has scored eight career goals against Necaxa, and the Pachuca striker already has 10 league goals this season after his brace in the 2-2 draw with Tijuana.
Prediction
Prediction: Pachuca 2-1 Necaxa. The hosts have the stronger attack and the home edge, and Rondón’s record in this fixture is hard to ignore, but Necaxa’s desperation should keep it close.
