Currently sitting in 8th place, the home team has managed to gather 3 points so far. In the first round, they won away at Santos Laguna (1-3). However, in the next round, they faced defeat at home against Monterrey (0-2). This team has maintained a decent performance when playing away, with a record of 5 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses in the last 30 matches; compared to 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses in their home matches. In the last 9 home games in the league, Necaxa has recorded 3 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses, earning 12 points out of a possible 27. The team has struggled defensively, conceding goals in every one of their last 10 matches, yet their attack has been consistent, scoring in 8 out of their last 10 league games. At home, there is a trend for low-scoring matches, as 7 of their last 9 league games finished with less than 2.5 goals. Out of 19 matches in this competition, they managed to overturn the score only once from the 13 games in which they conceded the first goal. Notably, they have conceded 10 of their 24 goals within the first half of their last 18 home matches in all competitions.

Necaxa is showing clear signs of improvement and is starting to reveal interesting capabilities on the pitch. After a high-level encounter against Monterrey, the team returns to their stadium aiming to dictate the tempo and assert their presence in the Clausura. Confidence is building as the team starts to gel. Against Atléticos, maximum concentration will be essential from the start to the finish. Any lapse in focus could cost them valuable points. The prediction calls for intensity, game awareness, and courage. Accumulating points is crucial to stay firmly in the upper part of the table.

Atléticos Analysis

Currently in 13th place, the visiting team has also secured 3 points. In the first round, they managed to win at home against Puebla (1-0), but experienced a loss in the next match away at Cruz Azul (2-0). This team tends to be stronger at home, with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 10 losses away, contrary to 5 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses at home. In the league, Atléticos has only obtained 5 points from a possible 30, following 1 win, 2 draws, and 7 losses in their last 10 away matches.

For this competition, they are on a streak of 5 losses in recent away games and haven’t won any of their last 9 matches outside their home stadium. The recurring result in their away league matches is 2-0, which has occurred in 4 of the 9 games they played. Defensively, they have not been solid, as they conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches in this competition.

Atléticos is approaching this demanding away game stretch with seriousness and maturity. Away from home, the team understands that each point can make a difference in the Clausura journey. Their objective is clear: to stay in contention for the top positions in the table. Against a dangerous opponent, they need to maintain the highest level of focus. Mistakes are costly in such a competitive prediction. Their approach must be balanced, willing to endure when necessary. Pointing outside is the type of challenge that separates ambition from reality.
