Puebla versus Club Necaxa is a Mexican Clausura matchup on Friday night at Estadio Cuauhtémoc. Puebla will enter Matchday 8 with their eyes firmly set on sneaking into the top 8. The hosts saw their two-game winning streak come to an end last weekend, losing 2-1 on the road to Pachuca. This result leaves them 10th in the Clausura standings with 11 points, 3 points behind Club America in the final playoff spot.
Club Necaxa, meanwhile, has been out of form lately, dropping to 16th place with 9 points. The visitors are on an embarrassing four-game slide, and will know that another loss could jeopardize their playoff ambitions. In their last assignment, Necaxa lost 1-0 at home to Pumas UNAM, who scored deep into the second half. It was a poor performance from the hosts, who had only one shot on target throughout the 90 minutes.

Our Puebla vs Club Necaxa Prediction
This one is shaping up to be a close contest, with Puebla FC coming in as the +128 favorites. They’ll be keen to maximize their three remaining home games as the playoff race in the Liga MX enters its home stretch. In their last home game, they picked up a comfortable 3-1 win over Tigres UANL despite seeing only 39% of the ball. However, Necaxa will come to town with their improved attack, which has scored 11 goals, compared to Puebla’s nine. They’ve also previously dominated this fixture, winning in their last four clashes. The visitors won three of their previous four matches at Estadio Cuauhtémoc. However, we’re backing Puebla to end the slide with a 2-1 or 3-1 win based on current form.
Our prediction for Puebla vs Club Necaxa: Over 2.5 goals.
