Oussama Idrissi, who has created 18 chances from his advanced midfield role, and Javier Vallejo, who has created 12 chances and added 3 assists in 379 minutes, give the hosts further ways to break Necaxa down. Necaxa&#8217;s threat still starts with Julian Carranza, who has scored 6 goals and landed 13 shots on target in 765 minutes, while midfielder Owen Gonzalez, with 2 goals in just 288 minutes, offers an extra attacking option from deeper.<\/p>\n<p>This looks like a tight, low-event night rather than an end-to-end shootout. Necaxa&#8217;s form over their last five reads L D L L L, including a 2-4 loss to Club America at home and a 3-1 defeat away at Atletico San Luis, and nothing in that sequence points to a side capable of matching Pachuca&#8217;s control for long stretches. Pachuca&#8217;s own form reads D W W D L, with away wins at Atlante (3-0) and FC Juarez (2-0) in the mix, and with Rondon doing the damage in front of goal, Estadio Hidalgo should see the hosts squeeze the game rather than chase it. Expect a cagey watch where Rondon&#8217;s movement or one moment of quality from the home midfield is enough to decide it.<\/p>\n<p>US viewers can watch Pachuca vs Necaxa on ViX, TUDN or Fox.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>\n.sq-bpg{--sig:#a8e039;--acc:#a8e039;--acc-ink:#0d2a08;--ink:#eaf5e6;--dim:#a7cbb8;--line:rgba(255,255,255,.10);\n
