Necaxa will welcome Club America to Estadio Victoria in Liga MX on Sunday. Both teams have endured dull performances of late and need to redress their campaigns as soon as possible.
Necaxa vs Club America Preview
Thanks for the submission!
Necaxa are winless in their last five Liga MX matches, dropping as many as 13 points. That is huge, in a mini league of 51 possible points. The hosts have won twice in nine outings, drawing twice. They sit three places from the floor of the standings – 15th out of 18 – with eight rounds of matches to spare.
Los Rayos ended the previous campaign at exactly the position they currently occupy in the new season: 15th. They did not qualify for the final phase. Necaxa face the spectre of replicating a similar finish unless their fortunes improve across the final lap of the Apertura tournament. They lost 2-0 in their last clash with America.
Club America are traditionally one of the top favorites of Liga MX, but they seem to be losing steam fast. They are winless in their last four matches, two of them league assignments. They have dropped five points in their last four matches. However, they remain competitive, as they sit third in the table on 17 points – two points from the top.
Águilas are hoping to right their wrongs of the previous season, when they finished eighth in the regular phase and failed to progress beyond the quarterfinals in the final phase. They are on track, but must avoid dropping further points to close the slim gap before the final matchday.
