Liga MX Apertura is coming for another week of games. Necaxa would be hosting Guadalajara in another epic round of games this weekend.
We’re set for some incredible actions as teams battle for a top 12 finish and a spot in the playoffs. Three points remain the objectives, and the teams are gunning for them.
Liga MX Expectations
The push continues, and we will see who comes out on top when CD Guadalajara visits Club Necaxa in this epic match.
The goal is to win, but we expect both teams to have the same objective, especially Guadalajara, who is yet to get a win this season. They’ve not lost a lot, but they’ve not won any either.
As we get set for this match, let’s look at the teams and analyze them to give you the Necaxa vs. Guadalajara best bets.
We’ve also provided the game information, previous records, and odds breakdown. Let’s get into it.
Necaxa vs. Guadalajara Matchup General Information
On the 19th of August, we will see Club Necaxa and CD Guadalajara go head-to-head again at the Estadio Victoria, Aguascalientes.
Both teams would lock horns for another shoot at three points and a chance to get closer to their playoff objectives.
The game will take place at 08:00 PM ET on Friday and will be one of the top games to look forward to this weekend. Both teams have something to fight for, so we don’t expect a tiring match from both sides.
Teams Previous Scoreboards
The last time both teams met was in the Clausura division of the Liga MX, and CD Guadalajara won the game, albeit with a slim margin. It was a challenging game that rode on to the final minutes.
We didn’t have a goal in the game until the 50th minute, which was canceled after a VAR check. Eventually, Miguel Ponce scored to give Guadalajara the victory.
Before that, they met in a friendly match, which Guadalajara also won, but this time there were plenty of goals, but the winning margin was still slim.
Guadalajara’s Epic Win
The last time they met in the Liga MX Apertura, CD Guadalajara also won in an epic version. Guadalajara won the first half, but Luis Garcia equalized for Necaxa, and we thought that was it.
We were wrong as there was plenty to come. When the game got to the 90+ minutes, we saw a different Guadalajara.
Because of that barrage of attacks, Necaxa conceded a final blow, with Angel Zaldivar scoring in the 103rd minute. From these records, Guadalajara has been the better team.
Necaxa vs. Guadalajara Analysis
Going by their previous game records, CD Guadalajara has been the better team on both sides. They’ve won the last three, and the last time Necaxa won was in the 2019 Liga MX Apertura season.
It was also a slim victory. We can take from their previous matches that the result is always close.
Both teams are tough and find it hard to cruise through the game. The game is never over until the final whistle.
One Big Difference
Therefore, any slip-up would result in the team losing the game. But, one big difference this season is that Necaxa has been the better side based on their performances and stats.
Guadalajara is yet to get a win in the eight games they’ve played this season. Meanwhile, Necaxa has won four so far, and they can close in on the top spot.
We might see Necaxa break the jinx of the last three meetings between both teams following their current form in the league.

Necaxa vs. Guadalajara Betting Analysis
Necaxa Analysis
Necaxa is one of the league’s top five teams this season. The team has won four games, drawn one, and lost four since the start of the season.
Their stats are not too bad compared to most teams in the league, but they are a bit far from the top position. Therefore, they need a way to close the gap.
They can start by winning the game against Guadalajara and hope that the top teams slip up in their next games.
13 Points Away
With 13 points and four away from Pumas UNAM in 13th place, the team can’t relent because a small mistake can take them out of the top 12 zones, especially since some of the teams below them have only played seven compared to their nine.
Guadalajara Analysis
Losses and draws; that has been the highlight of CD Guadalajara’s season. They sit 17th on the log, as their Liga MX stats haven’t been too good and only better than Queretaro this season.
Guadalajara’s Struggle
The team is struggling for form and won’t haven’t been able to get past any team they’ve faced so far.
Although without winning, they’ve been able to conjure six points, putting them only three points away from Club Leon in 12th place.
Therefore, a win in their game against Necaxa would put them close to their objective. They can still turn this around as they have nine games, including the one against Necaxa.
Necaxa vs. Guadalajara Betting Pick and Prediction
Both teams want to win this match, but Guadalajara would want it more. Necaxa can still make do with a draw, but it can be a problem as they have the chance to push for first, making their position in the top 12 more solid.
In that case, we believe this tie would be tricky and providing Liga MX predictions for it is difficult.
