América perform at a high level so far being 3rd in the table. Necaxa can look both up and down from their 10th position.
- América have the most scored goals (31) in Liga MX
- América have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Necaxa have scored away.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
América form and stats
20 points is a decent return from 9 Liga MX games here at Estadio Azteca for América. The data says 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as América has won seven games in a row. The Santos Laguna match was the last time out without a victory. América has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio Azteca. We remember; it was Guadalajara.
Nothing to worry about in defence for América, as their goalkeeper Francisco Guillermo Ochoa Magana has completely shut out the opponents for 269 minutes in the Liga MX.
A good away victory last time out for América, who won 1-0 against Mazatlan. Before that match, a win away at Guadalajara.
There will be little rest for América after this match as they are travelling to Olimpia for a CONCACAF Champions League game in only four days.
Goals decide football matches and América are scoring many of them at home; 19 on target from 9 league matches. On the other hand, América have conceded 9 goals.
Necaxa form and stats
Playing away, Necaxa have won 3 games, drawn 2 and suffered 3 defeats in the Liga MX this season. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Necaxa are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Necaxa had fun at their own home (Estadio Azteca) last time out, beating Juarez 1-0. Ian González Nieto scored. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Leon wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager G. Vázquez Herrera when Ian González Nieto scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 82nd minute. Late drama in the previous game, when Ian González Nieto scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Juarez.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Necaxa as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Necaxa have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Necaxa - América 1-1, played this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): América three wins, three draws and Necaxa four victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
