Necaxa
Necaxa have 3 points from 1 match and currently sit 7th in the league after a solid start, while Monterrey also have 3 points from 1 and currently occupy 6th position, making this mid-table battle already.
Monterrey
Necaxa are unbeaten at home in Liga MX 2026-2027 with one win and no ties from one game, conceding just 1 goal along the way, while Monterrey are winless away from home, with 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, which is why the draw could be a good play here.
Head-to-Head
- Monterrey are the more likely winner after 5 wins from the last 5 H2H encounters.
- The head-to-head is all Monterrey in recent years (W5, D0, L0) and they beat Necaxa 2-0 away in the reverse head-to-head 6 months ago in Liga MX 2025/2026.
Key Players
- Monterrey have the more reliable player in their squad in the form of Lucas Ocampos, who has 2 goals in 1 in Liga MX 2026-2027, and 4 goals from his last 6 appearances, so he will be the man to stop on Sunday.
- Diego Rossi has 1 assist in 1 Liga MX 2026-2027, while Julian Carranza is the danger man for Necaxa with 1 goal and 1 assist in 1 Liga MX 2026-2027, but Tomas Badaloni has chipped in with 2 goals from Necaxa's last 5, so both may get chances at the Estadio Victoria.
