Betting on Necaxa
They have only won one game, against Cruz Azul by the minimum (1-0), but la máquina (the machine) is doing the same or worse than them. Although Lillini’s team showed some improvement, especially in the last game against América, they lost 2-1 and put the Eagles in a lot of trouble, and at one point in the game we thought they would equalize, giving them the surprise of the day. But, although they scored in the second half, they lacked punch going forward.
It was combined with América’s poor defense, but you can tell they lack confidence in generating play. Playing against Pumas will not be easy, but at home they may feel more comfortable. Besides, the coach knows the rival perfectly well and knows how to hurt them, which gives them a bit of an advantage.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Hugo González; Josecarlos Van Rankin, Alexis Peña, Juan Pablo Segovia, Agustín Oliveros; Vicente Poggi, José Joaquín Esquivel, Fernando Madrigal; Edgar Martínez, Facundo Batista, Heriberto de Jesús.
Betting on Pumas
Pumas suffers on the road. They lost to Santos and Tigres in their last match by 4-2. The closest they came to winning three points was the draw against Tijuana at the border, and they played with a man down for most of the game.
Rafa Puente has found a good base, but if they are not at CU, they lose a lot of strength. They did score a lot of goals in the last game, but Tigres is a massive offensive force.
Now, they have a good opportunity to get a good result playing on the road. Necaxa is not strong defensively, they just shake off the stage fright of playing away from the Pedregal.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Sebastián Sosa, José Galindo, Jonathan Sánchez, Nicolás Freire, Adrián Aldrete; Diogo, Jesús Molina, Arturo Ortíz, Alek Álvarez; Gustavo del Prete, Juan Dinneno.
JefeBet Prediction
As we said, Lillini knows a lot about the Pumas, he has not long left Ciudad Universitaria. The Electricians have shown improvement and the coach’s knowledge will be useful to win at home, apart from the fact that Pumas is a tough opponent on the road.
Prediction: Necaxa 1-0 Pumas.
