Both clubs come into this Liga MX clash after mixed runs – Atlante have been erratic, while Pachuca have steadied after a recent win. The fixture pits a modest home side against a side that has scored at a rate more than double theirs away from home.

Jonesy's Verdict

Solid
CF Pachuca to win Won Strong lean Solid · Higher win probability

Pachuca’s 1.5 away expected goals against Atlante’s 0.7 home expected goals makes a win the most probable outcome.

Show the maths
The model assigns Pachuca a 56.5 % chance to win, driven by their 1.5 expected goals versus Atlante’s 0.7. The xG gap of 0.8 translates into a higher probability of scoring at least once, while Atlante’s low xG limits their chance of finding the net. The draw probability sits at 26.1 %, leaving Pachuca’s win probability as the strongest single market signal.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Won 60.9% model probability

With Atlante FC averaging 0.7 expected goals and CF Pachuca averaging 1.5, the model gives a 60.9% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 39.1% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Atlante FC 0.7, CF Pachuca 1.5) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 39.1% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 60.9% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals Lost 62.3% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.2 (Atlante FC 0.7 + CF Pachuca 1.5) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 62.3% chance against 37.7% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Atlante FC 0.7 + CF Pachuca 1.5 = 2.2 combined): 37.7% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 62.3% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Atlante FC at 17.4%, the draw at 26.1%, and CF Pachuca at 56.5% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-1 at 16.6% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Atlante FC

WDLDD

Atlante’s recent five-game run (WDLDD) includes a 3‑2 away win over Cruz Azul and a 0‑0 home draw with Toluca. The win shows they can produce goals, but the subsequent goalless draw and low‑scoring results highlight a limited attacking ceiling, reinforcing why they are unlikely to outscore Pachuca here.

CF Pachuca

LLDDW

Pachuca’s last five league outings (LLDDW) feature a 2‑0 away victory over FC Juarez and a 0‑1 away loss to Leon. The win demonstrates their ability to convert away chances, while the narrow loss and two draws suggest they can also keep clean sheets, supporting a win over a low‑scoring Atlante side.

Head-to-Head

The most recent head‑to‑head saw Pachuca hammered 0‑4 by Atlante in December 2025, but that outlier does not reflect the current form or xG advantage, and thus the trend now backs Pachuca’s win probability.
