Necaxa has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Orozco and the players.
Necaxa are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Atlético San Luis. Necaxa were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
