Although Atlante didn't do enough to earn a return to Liga MX last season in the expansion league, a league that already lacked promotion, a series of administrative moves and Mazatlán's withdrawal have allowed the beloved Mexico City club to return to the top flight after a 15-year absence. The World Cup is over, but the Liga MX season kicks off with a match steeped in nearly 100 years of history between Necaxa and Atlante.
Necaxa finished twelfth in the previous Clausura tournament, outside the playoff positions with only 18 points and a goal difference of -4. The Aguascalientes-based team will make their debut at Estadio Victoria after playing three friendly matches; they defeated Atlético Morelia, thrashed Correcaminos, and drew 0-0 against Atlas.
For its part, this Atlante team will not only be based in the colossal Azteca Stadium, recently renovated for the World Cup, but will also have a legendary manager: Miguel "El Piojo" Herrera, who said his goal is to qualify for the playoffs and restore the name of the traditional Mexico City team to its former glory.

Our Club Necaxa vs Atlante Prediction
Although these were friendlies, Atlante's draws against Monterrey and Toluca before Matchday 1 suggest that Miguel Herrera's team came to compete. Fans expect the team nicknamed Los Potros de Hierro (The Iron Colts) to have decent support in the stands this season.
Although it remains to be seen how each team will shape its ideal starting eleven, it is expected that Atlante will feature players such as Luis Calzadilla and Luis Puente, while Necaxa will be led by attacking players Ricardo Monreal and Tomás Badaloni.
Our prediction for Necaxa vs Atlante is: Both teams to score.
