Match Preview
As Necaxa prepares to host Cruz Azul at the Estadio Victoria de Aguascalientes on Wednesday, the contrasting form of the two teams sets the stage for an intriguing encounter. Necaxa has struggled recently, managing just one win in their last five matches (LLDDW), while Cruz Azul is in a stronger position, boasting three wins in their last five outings (WWWDD). The home side will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities, having conceded in four of their last five matches, which could be a crucial factor against a Cruz Azul team that has found the net consistently. Historically, the head-to-head record favours Cruz Azul, who have won six of the last ten meetings. Additionally, with six of those encounters featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring, there’s a strong possibility that this match could see similar trends. For Necaxa, the pressure is on to secure points at home, while Cruz Azul will be looking to maintain their momentum. Expect an open game with opportunities for both sides, making the prospect of goals likely.
