They have been disappointing, but they still have the chance to finish at the top if they can win their last two remaining matches.
Necaxa Performance Recap
Necaxa’s win over Club Leon on the 3rd of September helped them to secure the top 12. During the game, Necaxa took the lead at halftime, an advantage for them over the visitor.
The halftime ended with three goals down, but they were lucky because the away team later scored two goals after additional time, which was in the 90th minute and 91st minute.
However, aside from their last winning, we expect the same team that faced Club Leon to get into the last for their last two matches.
They would help the team push for six points to make them finally secure the top 12 and get ready for the second tournament. It will be an exciting match as both teams are ready for another battle for the tie.
Mazatlan Analysis
For Mazatlan, their last seven games have not been impressive, and their performance is also poor, losing two games in that period.
They only registered one win also and four draws. So, they ought to earn 21 points from the seven points, but the team could only gather seven games.
Mazatlan at the Standings
As a result, they are currently sitting in 14th in their standing, but if they can win their last two matches, they will be in the top 12 at the end of the first tournament.
Mazatlan is in the 14th position with 16 points, while Necaxa is in the 12th position with 18 points.
Looking at their current standings, they have only won three matches out of the fifteen games, earning nine points; they drew seven to make it sixteen points.

Even though they are yet to secure the top 12, with the two games left, they can still achieve that. Mazatlan’s win over Atlas, which is their last win, helped them to earn 13 points before their last match, where they played a 1-1 draw.
However, if they can use the same team that played in their last win game and builds on that result, they will get the result from the tie against Necaxa away from home.
We expect them to maintain the same tactics and teamwork for the game. Gabriel Esteban Caballero Shicker is a manager that understands the game and can help his team win.
