Necaxa Preview
“Los Rayos de Necaxa” participated in the Sky Cup, which served as a preparation for several teams, and did not go as well as expected since they drew 3 and lost one to finish last in group A after 4 matches.
The team has many new signings such as Damián Batallini, Josecarlos Van Rankin and Edson Partida. They are finding their consistency as a team, and Andrés Lillini is trying in every possible way to find the balance to start the tournament winning.
Last year, they won only three home games and lost four, and were positioned in 12th place in the standings, where they made it to the playoffs only to lose 2-0 against Tigres. Lillini gave a new face to the team, we will have to see if it works for him to start the tournament on the right foot.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Hugo González; Pablo Domínguez, Fabricio Formiliano, Juan Pablo Segovia, Agustín Oliveros; Fernando Madrigal, Alejandro Andrade, Josecarlos Van Rankin, José Joaquin Esquivel; Milton Giménez, Brayan Garnica
Atletico San Luis Preview
André Jardine failed to qualify St. Louis last season, but let’s remember that they were eliminated by a combination of results. They had a pretty decent closing, playing pretty well collectively.
For this tournament, the idea was to prepare in the best possible way and during the preseason they played 5 games, of which they only lost one. The team is looking more balanced every day and the coach’s idea is becoming more noticeable.
In addition, we see new faces all over the squad: Rodrigo Dourado, Angel Zaldivar and Dieter Villalpando are some of those who will wear the San Luis jersey this season and will be looking to contribute enough to make it to the final phase of Mexican soccer.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Marcelo Barovero; Ricardo Chavez, Fernando Piñuelas, Unai Bilbao, Uziel Garcia; Rodrugo Dourado, Andres Iniestra, Juan Manuel Sanabria; Dieter Villalpando, Jhon Murillo, Leonardo Bonatini
JefeBet Prediction
San Luis had an excellent preseason, but won only two away games last season (against Chivas and Atlas). This time the coach is consolidating a good team that will be able to compete for the title, so we believe they will get their first win of the tournament.
For their part, Necaxa did not perform as well in the Sky Cup, and they are not as consistent at home either, they will put up a fight, but it will not be enough for them and they will have their first defeat. Don Ramon will surely be very sad with his Rays.
Prediction: Necaxa 0-1 San Luis
