Next Friday night will represent a unique opportunity for Necaxa to find some breathing room after the disastrous performances they’ve displayed during the first eight matchdays in Liga MX. Most of those expectations stem from the fact that they will face Puebla at Estadio Victoria, their home venue where they are expected to dominate the game against one of the weakest teams in the league.
However, it cannot be ignored that Necaxa is one of the worst teams in the standings due to their disappointing offensive performance, which is radically opposite to the level they showed during the previous season. In this regard, hiring Fernando Gago as their head coach was a very risky decision by the owners, and it isn’t really yielding any results yet. The only good news for Necaxa is that Diber Cambindo will return for this game after serving his red card suspension.
Meanwhile, Puebla is even worse form than Necaxa, currently sitting in the last spot in the standings and notably marked as having the worst defense of the season with 21 goals conceded. Taking all this into account, this very poor performance is putting pressure on Hernan Cristante, as he hasn’t been able to find a competitive starting XI. More importantly, he hasn’t found a way to improve their defensive performance.

Our Club Necaxa vs Puebla Prediction
To sum up, these teams are both expected to show improvement in their performance for the rest of the regular season. Nonetheless, it is clear that Necaxa is the team that generates better expectations in comparison to Puebla, as they clearly have a superior squad.
Given this situation, Puebla is at very high risk of being the worst team of the season. Even though Hernan Cristante has proven himself to be a competitive coach in the past, the quality of the players he’s working with now is very low. Therefore, the pick for Club Necaxa – Club Puebla is: Over 2.75 Goals!
