Necaxa form and stats

When playing at home in the Liga MX, Necaxa have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 4 defeats from 8 games.

The fans are hoping that Necaxa will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Monterrey. Necaxa's goalkeeper Gonzalez was extremely busy against Monterrey, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Pumas UNAM in a game that was won 3-1.

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 9 games. Necaxa has won 4 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.

A fact related to the "Both teams to score yes/no" betting option: A review of the 15 most recent league games shows that 12 of them had at least one goal scored by each team.

Necaxa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. Necaxa have conceded 15 from these games.
