Update:

Pachuca are flying high after their recent victory over Atlético San Luis, and they’ll look to keep the momentum going as they face off against Necaxa in the upcoming matchday. Meanwhile, the Rayos are desperate to snap a frustrating winless streak and turn their season around.

Necaxa has had a rough time whenever they’ve gone up against the team from the Bella Airosa. Their last win over Pachuca came back in the Apertura 2022, a 2-0 result powered by goals from Bryan Garnica and Milton Giménez.

Since that match, the Aguascalientes side has failed to find a way past the Tuzos, recording four losses and two draws. The most lopsided defeat came during the Apertura 2024, when Pachuca dismantled Necaxa in a 6–2 rout.
