Necaxa

vs

Club America

Preview

Necaxa (home)

• Necaxa are in poor form ahead of this clash, suffering a 0-1 loss to Puebla on home turf before being defeated 3-1 away to Atletico de San Luis last weekend, but that should come as no surprise given that Martin Varini is looking to install a new playing style on his side.
• Los Rayos have failed to win in their last five games (D2, L3) and come into this game in poor position as a result.
• They sit 15th in the table with eight points from nine games and face a tough test in the form of 3rd placed Club America (W3, D1, L1 from their last five).

Club America (away)

• Club America are in good form.
• Club America have averaged 1.75 goals per away game and conceded an average of 1.5 goals per away game in Liga MX 2026/2027.
• Guillermo Almada is a high-intensity coach that likes his team to play at pace.
• America play a high-tempo 4-2-3-1 and can hit their opponents on the break with a quick recovery and transition.
• They impressed against CD Guadalajara last time out, coming from behind to draw 2-2 after a crazy 4-3 defeat to Cruz Azul the previous weekend.

Head-to-Head

Key Players

• Club America
  • Brian Rodriguez leads the league scoring charts with three goals in six appearances for Club America, but Miguel Borja has also slotted in three of their nine goals across the last five.
• Necaxa
  • Julian Carranza leads the Necaxa scoring charts with five goals in eight Liga MX 2026/2027 appearances.

Betting Insights

• Las Aguilas are 1.84 favourites for this clash, with Necaxa at 3.8 and the draw at 3.8, which makes little sense when you consider that the hosts have lost both of the last two home H2H meetings and have failed to beat Club America in that run.
• Over 2.5 goals at 1.65 seems like a good fit, while both teams to score at 1.57 is also worth a bet.
