Club Necaxa and Pumas UNAM will clash on Friday night in the Mexican Liga MX at Estadio Victoria. Necaxa will be looking to end their three-game slide and improve their 9-point standing in the Clausura. They were defeated 2-1 on the road to Pachuca on Monday night, with Javier Ruiz scoring their consolation goal in the second half. But despite their recent poor run of results, they can jump from 13th to 8th with a win on Friday night. That’s a motivating factor.
Pumas UNAM, on the other hand, suffered a painful 3-2 loss at home to Toluca on Tuesday night. They took the lead twice before Paulinho scored the winning goal for the visitors in the 78th minute. Earlier, on Friday last week, Pumas UNAM recovered from a goal down to snatch a 1-1 draw on the road against Club Tijuana. This winless run has seen them drop to the fifth position with 16 points, 6 points behind the leaders, Cruz Azul.

Our Club Necaxa vs Pumas UNAM Prediction
Club Necaxa is the +125 betting favorite. Varini Martin’s side won their last four home games against Pumas UNAM at Estadio Victoria. They also lost just once in their previous seven matches against the visitors, and both teams scored on three of the last four occasions. However, Necaxa has been struggling defensively this season, conceding 15 goals, and hasn’t kept a clean sheet in their nine assignments. They may struggle against the league’s best attack, which has scored 17 goals this season. Pumas UNAM are also in good form at the moment, having lost only once in their last six assignments. The visitors will be smelling a win, considering the hosts have lost six of their previous eight games. We see a thrilling 2-2 draw.
Our prediction for Club Necaxa vs Pumas UNAM: Over 2.5 goals.
