Necaxa vs. Tigres UANL Betting Preview
Necaxa
This fixture comes at a crucial stage of the season for Necaxa, as they currently find themselves outside the top 12 positions in the Clausura standings. At present, they sit 14th overall, having won two of the nine games that they have played this season. Necaxa has only scored 12 goals in Liga MX this term, which is evident in the Necaxa odds to win the top flight.
Their recent form would also be a concern, as they have gone two games without a win and have picked up just a single victory in their previous six matches. In their most recent outing, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Queretaro at home. However, both of their victories this season have been recorded in home fixtures, including a 3-1 victory against Pumas UNAM in the middle of February.
There will need to be a response this weekend, as they already sit two points off the top 12 positions. Defeat could see them needing victories in their remaining matches to claim a playoff spot. However, they could be among the outside Liga MX picks this weekend, as they will be without Heriberto Jurado, who was sent off in their previous fixture.
Tigres UANL
It has been a reliable start to the season for one of the most famous teams in the division, as Tigres UANL already sits in the top 12 positions. It has already been a solid start to this season, which would come as a pleasing response after a disappointing finish in the quarterfinals of the Apertura in 2022. But, it may be too early to claim whether one of Mexico’s biggest teams is back on the right path.
However, this season, the Tigres UANL stats are already solid, as they sit third in the Clausura standings after nine rounds of fixtures. A victory on Friday evening would see them move to within a point of the top of the standings, and they already boast the best defensive record in the league. But they will need a return to winning ways after winning just once in their previous three.
In their previous match, they were edged out at home by Guadalajara. However, their away record has been solid to this point, as they have gone four without defeat. That run includes victories in each of their previous two games on the road. Their latest win was a 1-0 success against Atlas, but Igor Lichnovsky was sent off in that victory, meaning that he will miss this clash.
