In an otherwise full-strength group, there is only a single fitness worry for the Necaxa gaffer Nicolás Larcamón to be concerned about. Agustín Oliveros (Shin injury) won’t be playing here.

Prediction
It seems to us that Necaxa and Club Tijuana may well end up cancelling each other out here.
While there should be goals at both ends, it’s too close to call. Therefore, we predict a really entertaining tussle with a 2-2 score draw when the referee blows the final whistle.
