Club Necaxa vs CF Pachuca Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 10/3/25, 5:03 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 10/5/25 at 1:30 PM in Liga MX Picks

Next Friday night will be a key date for Necaxa, not only because they must open Liga MX matchday 12 against Pachuca at 07:00 pm CST, but also because they must win to stay alive in the competition. Nonetheless, their performance throughout the season has been very disappointing with a 2W-3D-6L record, negatively standing as one of the worst offenses in the league.

In this regard, the most likely outcome at the end of the season is the resignation of Fernando Gago as Necaxa’s head coach due to the very poor results he has achieved this season despite having very dangerous players like Diber Cambindo in the squad. With that in mind, it’s also worth noting that Agustin Palavecino lost his preferred partnership in the midfield, as Paradela was sold to Cruz Azul.

Meanwhile, Pachuca has completely lost all the competitive form that made them the top performers in the league at the beginning of the season; however, they remain in Play-In spots with good chances of getting into the playoffs. Additionally, their most recent victory over Atletico San Luis (2-1) gave them some breathing room after four turbulent matchdays in which they couldn’t defeat teams like Queretaro or Puebla.
