Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Real Madrid is 7.14, compared to 6.80 for Pachuca. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Real Madrid's highest-rated starter is Kylian Mbappé (7.60), while Pachuca's best-rated player is Carlos Moreno (7.11).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Real Madrid have contributed 53 goals and 25 assists this season, led by Kylian Mbappé (24G). Pachuca's starters account for 17 goals and 11 assists, spearheaded by Oussama Idrissi (5G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Real Madrid deploy 4 defenders rated 6.93 on average, against Pachuca's 4-man backline averaging 6.69. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Real Madrid field 5 midfielders averaging 7.22, versus Pachuca's 5 rated 6.86. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Real Madrid start 1 forward(s) averaging 7.60, compared to 1 for Pachuca averaging 6.73. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 88% for Real Madrid and 80% for Pachuca. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Real Madrid's starters have collected 32 yellow cards this season, compared to 44 for Pachuca. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Real Madrid's starting XI is 26.4 (youngest: Jude Bellingham (22), oldest: Thibaut Courtois (33)), while Pachuca average 26.8 (youngest: Elías Montiel (20), oldest: Salomón Rondón (36)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Real Madrid's starters average 25 league appearances each, versus 22 for Pachuca. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
