New York City faces Club Necaxa at home in their next North American Leagues Cup fixture. A match that should see a few goals scored, New York will be hoping their home advantage will see them through what could be a tricky game. The Pigeons is in good form, winning four and drawing one of their last six fixtures in all competitions. They did, though, go down 2-1 away at Cruz Azul in their last fixture, leaving then with a current W1 L1 record in this competition so far.
As for Club Necaxa, they've endured a hit-and-miss start to their season. While they've won two of their three Liga MX games so far, Los Rayos has lost both of their opening Leagues Cup matches with defeats to Philadelphia Union and Chicago Fire. These defeats followed a loss against Deportivo Toluca, meaning Necaxa has lost three straight games.
New York City do have a number of injury concerns to contend with, making calling a match winner a little difficult to predict. Instead, our pick focuses on the goals market. Both sides have only kept one clean sheet in their last six matches, we think both sides will find the net in this one.

Our New York City vs Club Necaxa Prediction
In a game which is likely to see a few goals scored, we were considereing the Total Goals Over/Under market. As you can see in our Key Points section, there's a high average of goals scored in each team's last six matches. While we've considered an Over 2.5 goals pick, we're more confident in predicting both sides to score. Neither has particulary excelled in keeping clean sheets, with both only managing one shut out in their last six. Both teams have, though, good goalscoring records. The Pigeons have scored in each of their last six, with Necaxa only failing to find the back of the net once in their most recent fixtures.
Our prediction for New York City vs Club Necaxa is: Both Teams To Score
