Necaxa form and stats

Necaxa have played three Liga MX home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

The Necaxa manager Lillini and his gang return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Leon (placed 11th). The Necaxa goalkeeper Gudiño was crucial in the match against Leon last time out, making seven saves.

Before that game, the home loss against Queretaro with the scoreline 0-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Necaxa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Necaxa as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Necaxa has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 4.

Necaxa have scored {1 goals} here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Necaxa defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
