Club Necaxa Preview

Sunday evening, Fernando Gago’s men held on desperately to a 1-1 draw against Pumas UNAM at the unfriendly confines of the Estadio Olímpico Universitario. Inside the 90-minute frame, Necaxa were heavily outplayed, retaining possession for only 36 percent of the match while getting outshot in shot attempts, 21 to 12. 

The club's most recent prolific goal getter has had a quiet start to his 2025 Apertura season. Diber Cambindo, so far into four league appearances, has only hit the back of the net on one occasion. During the previous term, the Colombian international possessed one of the hottest bouts across the top-flight division, amassing 11 goals. The striker on Friday could benefit from facing an underperforming side to ink his name onto the scorers’ sheet.

Club Leon Preview

Last season, Eduardo Berizzo’s troops only sustained five setbacks during the regular season. After four matches in this campaign, their loss total is up to three. So far, the club is in a slide that has seen losses in five instances in seven games across all competitions. One of the focal points of Los Panzas Verdes’ struggles is the ability to keep the ball out of their own net, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their previous five showings. 

Making waves joining the León-based club last season, James Rodriguez has appeared to be out of rhythm early into the 2025 Apertura. Through 208 minutes of work, the two-time UEFA Champions League winner has only garnered a goal. His debut season in Liga MX saw more production from the 34-year-old, who contributed nine goals in 17 appearances. Club León will be counting on the playmaking midfielder to fulfill his abilities to help his squad pull off the upset.

Club Necaxa vs. Club Leon - My Pick

• Club Necaxa vs. Club Leon pick: Necaxa moneyline 3-way (+100) at bet365

We anticipate this contest will see the home side squeak out a maximum result and hand the visitors their fourth defeat in the Apertura. Not only has Club León displayed substandard defense, but going on the attack has been an issue as they have only featured on the scoreboard three times in their last five. Dating back to the prior season, Los Panzas Verdes are winless in their previous 10 games away from their home turf.

Despite conceding goals in their own net, we feel Necaxa will give their counterpart more difficulties in breaking down their own back line, while in doing so, Necaxa has shown they can score, as they have bagged a team total of eight goals in their previous five skirmishes.
