Win Probability: Pachuca or Necaxa?

Using bookmaker odds as a base and adjusting for form, head-to-head history and league positions, Pachuca have a 55% chance of winning, the draw is at 25%, and Necaxa’s win probability is just 20%. The initial odds implied roughly a 45% Pachuca win, but the huge gap in current form (Necaxa’s four defeats in five) and Pachuca’s recent H2H dominance (four wins in five) push the home side’s chances significantly higher. The draw remains a real possibility – Pachuca have drawn their last two home matches – but a Necaxa victory would be a major surprise.
