Necaxa could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Liga MX game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Toluca. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Necaxa form and stats

3-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Necaxa in their Liga MX matches away. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Necaxa are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Necaxa play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Toluca. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Atletico San Luis.

Necaxa goalkeeper Luis Malagón had a great day against Toluca, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.

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.

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. Necaxa have conceded 8 goals in these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
