Cruz Azul and Necaxa will conclude their Clausura campaign with a clash at Estadio Azteca on Sunday night. Cruz Azul has hit a cold patch lately, having failed to win any of their last five league matches. This cold run has seen them drop to fourth position in the standings with 30 points, just 3 points behind the second-placed Pumas UNAM. They’ll also know that a defeat could see them relinquish their fourth position to Toluca. It’s almost a must-win game.
Necaxa, on the other hand, haven’t shown much improvement this year. They finished the Apertura season in 13th place with 17 points. Interestingly, they find themselves in the same position in the Clausura standings, although with an improved total of 18 points. A defeat against Cruz Azul could see them drop to 15th in the standings, while a win could move them to 11th position. They still have something to play for in Matchday 17.

Our CF Cruz Azul vs Club Necaxa Prediction
This game has a Cruz Azul victory written all over it, with bookies favoring them by -260 odds. They have controlled matches this season and could easily turn pressure into 3 points on Sunday night. Cruz Azul has also proved to be hard to beat lately, losing only two of their last 21 games all-time. In fact, they’ve lost just two of their 16 Clausura matches this season. However, the defense has failed to bail them out of trouble lately, drawing 1-1 in their last four matches. We don’t see them keeping a clean sheet against Necaxa, who have scored in four of their last five matches. This could be a thrilling 2-1 or 3-1 type of game in favor of the hosts.
Our prediction for CF Cruz Azul vs Necaxa: Both teams to score.
