Necaxa (DWDDL)

The Necaxa team comes to this game after a draw against Pachuca (1-1). The Pachuca team started the game very strong, scoring 1-0 after 13 minutes. However, the Necaxa team managed to equalize shortly after, at 20'. The remaining 1st half would be entirely dominated by the Pachuca team, with an impressive 72% of ball possession. However, the Necaxa team did not allow great opportunities, even managing, despite less control of the ball, to create the best scoring opportunities in the 1st half. In the 2nd half, the roles were reversed. It would be the Necaxa team that took over the game more, with the Pachuca team creating a lot of danger in transitions. Both teams would have difficulty finishing and the game would end in a 1-1 draw. With this result, the Necaxa team has 8 points, ranking itself in 16th place. The team has not lost 4 consecutive games, thus looking for 5 games without losing, taking advantage of the home advantage. In the last 5 league games the team recorded 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 defeat, having scored 8 goals and conceded 6.

Cruz Azul (WLDLW)

The Cruz Azul team arrives at this game after an impressive victory against Atl. San Luis (1-2). The Atl team. San Luis would assert its place in the standings and enter the match strong, dominating the game and creating countless opportunities in the 1st half. However, the team would not be able to convert the opportunities created. At the beginning of the 2nd half, the Cruz Azul team started very well and made it 0-1 after 52 minutes. The Atl team. San Luis would dominate the game even more and end up equalizing in the 70th minute. And with total dominance and opportunities created, I didn't expect the Cruz Azul team to score the winning goal in the 87th minute. The team would hold on to the result until the end and take the 3 points. With this result, the Cruz Azul team now has 8 points, finding itself in 17th place. The team has been quite intermittent, losing at home and showing good results in away games, having not lost any of the last 3 away games. In the last 5 league games the team has recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, having scored 9 goals and conceded 10.
