Match preview: Pumas vs Necaxa
Pumas and Necaxa will face off at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario, in the 4th round of the MX League. Historical encounters at this stadium tend to favour the home side, with Pumas winning once and drawing twice in their last three meetings. Indeed, in their most recent clash at this venue on January 12, 2025, Pumas UNAM emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline, courtesy of goals from Rodrigo Lopez (28′) and Jorge Ruvalcaba (25′) for Pumas, and a solitary response from Diber Cambindo (64′) for Necaxa. Special attention should be paid to the home and away form, as both teams show contrasting results in their respective conditions.
Team analysis: Pumas
Currently sitting in 15th place with just 3 points from 1 victory and 2 defeats, Pumas are struggling to find their footing. Their latest performance saw them win away against Querétaro (0-2), following a home loss to Pachuca (2-3). This team appears significantly affected by home advantages, demonstrating stronger results when playing at home compared to their away form. Over the last 30 games, they hold a record of 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses on the road, whereas at home, they have achieved 6 wins and 4 draws, alongside 5 losses. In their last 10 home fixtures, Pumas have secured 4 wins, drawn twice, and lost 4. The defence has been porous, allowing goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, necessitating improvements, while the attack has been relatively consistent, finding the net in 7 of their last 10 games. The team has only managed to recover and win in 2 of the 15 matches where they conceded the first goal.
Pumas UNAM sits near the bottom of the table as the season begins, facing challenges in maintaining consistency. Their play fluctuates between pressing opposition effectively and suffering lapses in composure. Despite the home advantage, recent performances indicate a side that struggles to score while often succumbing to opponent counter-attacks. Securing defensive stability remains a key concern.
Team analysis: Necaxa
Necaxa currently resides in 7th place with 4 points, having achieved 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss. Last time out, they drew against América at home (1-1) following a victorious match against Querétaro (3-1). This team maintains a steady performance when playing away, recording 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses in their last 30 away games compared to 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses at home. Their most recent away match ended in a defeat (3-1) against Toluca. In their last 10 away matches, Necaxa has secured 5 wins, drawn 2, and lost 3. Their defence has also faltered, allowing goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, indicating a need for improvement, although their attack has thrived, scoring in 9 of those 10 games. Notably, in their away fixtures, there tends to be a tendency for goals, evidenced by 13 out of their last 17 games concluding with more than 2.5 goals. The team has not managed to overturn a goal deficit in any of the 5 matches where they conceded first.
On the other hand, Necaxa finds itself in the upper echelons of the table, displaying a more balanced approach on the field. The team strikes a harmonious blend of solid defence and an effective midfield, making them competitive even away from home. Their adeptness at exploiting gaps left by opponents could prove decisive in this fixture, particularly against a side that is still searching for its optimal tactical setup.
