For Necaxa, goals were scored by Julián Carranza (80') and Misael Pedroza (93'). Eugenio Pizzuto (47') was the scorer for Atlante.
Necaxa have not been the best at stopping their opponents recently, but they’ve also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Looking at their last 6 games, Necaxa have been punished defensively in 5 of them in addition to scoring in 5 of those matches.
Their past results show that Necaxa:
Monterrey go into this game after a 3-2 Liga MX (Apertura) win with the eclipse of Santos Laguna in their last fixture.
In that game, Monterrey had 56% possession and 19 shots at goal with 13 on target. For Monterrey, the goalscorers were Lucas Ocampos (20', 25') and Jesús Corona (31'). At the other end, Santos Laguna had 11 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Lucas Di Yorio (40') and Eduardo Aguirre (96') scored for Santos Laguna.
In as many as 5 of the previous 6 games featuring Monterrey, three or more goals have gone in. The overall average number of goals per match during that spell is 3, with the average number of goals for Monterrey standing at 1.17. That aside, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern might be replicated in this upcoming match.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Monterrey:
A quick look at past results between these clubs stretching back to 01/11/2023 reveals that these fixtures have not been fruitful for Necaxa. They have not managed to get any victories at all while Monterrey have dominated them, beating them in 100% of those games played.
An aggregate of 17 goals were scored between them in this period, with 2 from Lightning Bolts and 15 being from Los Rayados. The average goals per game has been 2.83.
The last league encounter featuring the two was Liga MX (Clausura) match day 2 on 14/01/2026 when the final score was Necaxa 0-2 Monterrey.
That day, Necaxa had 51% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 4 on target.
At the other end, Monterrey had 15 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Germán Berterame (15') and Iker Fimbres (31') scored.
The match was refereed by Fernando Hernández.
We think that Lightning Bolts may well kick off with a 3-4-2-1 formation in the match, utilising Luis Jiménez, Raúl Martínez, Alexis Peña, Agustín Oliveros, Ricardo Monreal, Danny Leyva, Lorenzo Faravelli, Carlos Alonso Vargas, Juan Torres, Javier Ruiz and Julián Carranza.
We reckon that Los Rayados seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Luis Cárdenas, Ricardo Chávez, Stefan Medina, Alonso Aceves, Gerardo Arteaga, Oliver Torres, Jorge Rodriguez, Luca Orellano, Jesus Manuel Corona, Lucas Ariel Ocampos and Diego Rossi.
Our assessment is that Necaxa have it within them to breach the defence of this Monterrey lineup, although one goal possibly won’t quite be good enough.
Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a narrow 1-2 winning margin for Monterrey after the 90. It should be a decent one.
Turning to the betting odds on the 90 min. result market, backing Necaxa can be had for 3, backing a drawn result is 3.5 and selecting victory for Monterrey gets you 2.2. They’re the best bets on offer as of now.
