Wednesday evening the third round of the Apertura concludes with Monterrey travelling down to Estadio Victoria to take on Necaxa. Monterrey possesses the head-to-head edge in the previous 23 clashes. The Rayados have defeated Necaxa on 12 occasions while Los Rayos have been victorious five times while the points were shared in six occurrences. The most recent encounter took place back in April during the Clausura campaign, which featured a batch of goals as Monterrey won 5-2.

Necaxa pummeled Puebla 4-1 last weekend, earning their first victory in the newly opened season. Striker Diber Cambindo led the way collecting two goals in the 15th and 52nd minute. Los Rayos finished the match with a staggering 24 shots towards the net with nine hitting the target. Los Electricistas overperformed themselves on the score sheet in their victory finishing with an xG of 2.23.

Meanwhile, Monterrey are coming off a thumping defeat losing 4-0 at home against Cruz Azul. It was the first time since October of 2022 that Monterey conceded four or more goals. The Rayados failed to generate anything up front only mustering nine total shots with zero reaching the target. Within the 90 minutes, Monterey lost the ball possession battle maintaining the play for only 46 percent of the time.

Necaxa vs. Monterrey Betting Preview

Necaxa Prediction

Los Rayos have welcomed three new players Roseroto, Raul Sandoval and Palavecino to the club during the summer transfer window. Roseroto and Palavecino have made an instant impact as both newly acquired players have already inked their names on the scoresheet after two match days in the Apertura.

Despite having the least number of touches by an outfield player in the match, Diber Cambindo put in a man-of-the-match staging. As stated above he was able to collect two goals in his previous outing. The Cruz Azul loanee product now has 11 goals in 18 matches with Los Rayos.

Monterrey Prediction

Controlling the tempo in the middle of the pitch, Jorge Rodriguez will have to carry the load up front. The 28-year-old was hoping to get some help with the big transfer signing of Oliver Torres, but is out with a shoulder injury, expecting to get in his Liga MX debut in mid-August. Rodriguez has one goal and five assists in 27 career games in the Mexican top-flight competition.

Making his debut in Liga MX last weekend with the Mexican giants, Johan Rojas performed for 45 minutes. The 21-year-old Colombian finished with two shot attempts, both missing the target. In his shift in the second half, he went 83 percent in successful passes going 20-for-24.

Necaxa vs. Monterrey - My Pick

Following an impressive result over the weekend, Necaxa's confidence should be beaming, they’ll be riding that high into Wednesday night. Monterrey will look to rebound after their devastating defeat on Sunday with the quick turnaround. Monterrey is too talented to get blanked on the scoresheet in consecutive Liga MX affairs, look for Monterey to come out blazing. Despite the disproportion on the player's wage bill, this shouldn’t be a one-sided affair and Necaxa is more than capable of hitting the back of the net. Last season 82 percent of their matches resulted in both teams bagging one on each other. There is a decent chance both clubs fail to get a clean sheet at Estadio Victoria on Wednesday.

Bet on Both Teams to Score YES (-135) at bet365
