There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Pumas UNAM leading Necaxa by 14 points.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Pumas UNAM form and stats
14 points is a decent return from 6 Liga MX games here at Estadio Olímpico de Universitario for Pumas UNAM. The data says 4 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. There’s a good atmosphere here at Estadio Olímpico de Universitario after three straight home wins.
Pumas lost their last game at León (placed 2nd) after a 0-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Pumas won a home game hosting Atlético San Luis (3-0).
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Pumas matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).
Pumas are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (15 goals in 6 games). Pumas UNAM have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Necaxa form and stats
0-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Necaxa, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in Liga MX, in their Liga MX matches away. With the Necaxa losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Necaxa seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Liga MX home defeat versus Puebla with 0-1 on the scoreboard. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Guadalajara.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Necaxa playing away, we found six games. Results were one away win, zero draws and five home wins.
Goals are few and far between in Necaxa's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Necaxa have conceded 7 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
