Tigres UANL vs Club Necaxa Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 10/17/25, 7:22 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 10/18/25 at 1:15 AM in Liga MX Picks

One of the games that will close out with Liga MX’s Friday night schedule features the clash between Tigres UANL and Necaxa, teams that have opposite momentum but that promise to deliver a very attractive game. However, it makes perfect sense to find Tigres UANL as heavy favorites to win, as they have only lost one game throughout the season and look like serious contenders for the championship.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that Tigres UANL are one of the two teams that have a five-game unbeaten streak, so they’re expected to eventually take down Cruz Azul and Monterrey in the standings. From a performance perspective, Tigres currently stand out as having the best defense after only conceding 10 goals throughout the season, an achievement that most likely has Guido Pizarro very satisfied, as the defensive strength is a heritage from Ricardo Ferretti.

Meanwhile, Necaxa have radically transformed from one season to another, so they aren’t even expected to qualify for the play-in this time. Surprisingly, losing Nicolas Larcamon and Agustin Palavecino was enough to destroy one of the most spectacular teams in Liga MX, so the management must address this situation sooner rather than later to avoid a bigger crisis that could have a financial impact in the future.
