FC Juarez vs CF Pachuca: CF Pachuca to win

Both sides arrive on a slump – Juarez have lost five straight overall, and Pachuca have failed to win in five, recording three losses and two draws. The match offers Juarez a chance to snap a run of defeats, but the recent form suggests they lack the firepower to overturn the odds.

Jonesy's Verdict

Strong
CF Pachuca to win Won Solid lean Strong · Expected‑goals gap

The model’s 51 % win probability for Pachuca, backed by superior away expected goals and a tighter defence, makes a Juarez win unlikely.

Show the maths
Juarez’s home xG of 0.7 versus Pachuca’s away xG of 1.3 creates a 0.6 differential in favour of the visitors. The model translates that gap into a 51 % win chance for Pachuca, 29 % for a draw and only 20 % for Juarez. The low BTTS probability (36.6 %) and the high under‑2.5 odds (67.7 %) further suggest a single goal or none, aligning with the top scoreline of 0‑1. These figures together drive the confidence in a Pachuca win.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Won 63.4% model probability

With FC Juarez averaging 0.7 expected goals and CF Pachuca averaging 1.3, the model gives a 63.4% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 36.6% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (FC Juarez 0.7, CF Pachuca 1.3) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 36.6% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 63.4% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals Won 67.7% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.0 (FC Juarez 0.7 + CF Pachuca 1.3) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 67.7% chance against 32.3% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (FC Juarez 0.7 + CF Pachuca 1.3 = 2.0 combined): 32.3% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 67.7% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has FC Juarez at 20.1%, the draw at 29.0%, and CF Pachuca at 51.0% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-1 at 17.6% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

FC Juarez

LLLLL

Juarez’s five‑game slump includes a 0‑1 loss to Puebla at home and a 1‑5 defeat to Pumas, both highlighting a thin attack that rarely breaches opposition lines. The recent 1‑2 loss to Club America at home underscores their inability to score more than one goal, reinforcing the low expected‑goals figure and supporting a Pachuca win.

CF Pachuca

LLLDD

Pachuca’s last five feature a 1‑2 loss to Queretaro at home, a 0‑1 defeat at Leon, and a 2‑3 loss to Puebla, but they have steadied with two 1‑1 draws against Atletico San Luis (away) and Chivas (home). The draws show they can hold opponents while still finding the net, matching their 1.3 away xG and bolstering the case for a win.

Head-to-Head

In the latest head‑to‑head, Pachuca beat Juarez 2‑0 in February 2026, while the most recent encounter in November 2025 saw Juarez win 2‑1, giving a mixed recent record but a slight edge to Pachuca overall.
