Pacheco has been playing very good tennis lately, he mostly plays tournaments in Mexico and regularly wins 2 or 3 rounds.
Last week he showed that he can also play on the ground because he passed 3 rounds and then lost in a tie match against Duckworth where he also had 2 match balls.
McDonald, like most Americans, does not like the country, which is also shown by the numbers, because he has recorded two victories in the last two seasons.
He beat Brooksby in Houston, but I would take that with a grain of salt because Brooksby is constantly injured and then he took two games against Tirante.
Pacheco was opened as an underdog, but now he is the favorite and for a reason, he showed against Duckowrth that he can compete with top 100 players, and that home field against the challengers is always a big factor.
Woking showed better organisation and discipline on the pitch in the match against Eastleigh. Although Eastleigh tried to turn the score around, the home team controlled the midfield and created more chances. Woking's defence was solid, and their attack was effective at key moments. In the end, Woking deservedly won in regulation time, confirming their superiority and retaining important points at home.
The match between Daniel Altmaier and Dino Prizmic brings a duel of experience and youth. Altmaier has greater stability from the baseline and more experience at the ATP level, which gives him an advantage in key moments. Prizmic is talented and combative, but can oscillate. Therefore, Altmaier is expected to use his advantages and come out on top in the end of the match.
The Oilers have been synonymous with goals all season, but as the playoffs approach, they have played better defense.
In their last 5 games, their xG is 2.8, compared to 3.4 last season.
Connor Ingram is expected to start in goal, who has a very good 2.6 GAA and 92 percent save in the last 5 games.
Utah has been playing quite efficiently lately, scoring 14 goals in their last 5 games at home and conceding 21.
Their defensive xG is much worse than usual, while their offense is quite good.
Karel Vejmelka is expected to start in goal, who has a modest 3.6 GAA and 88 percent save in the last 5 games.
They conceded 4 goals in the last game against Vancouver, which is one of the worst offenses in the league.
