Atlas FC vs Club Necaxa Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 2/17/25, 2:55 AM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 2/17/25 at 9:56 AM in Liga MX Picks

The one and only Liga MX game to be disputed next Tuesday, February 18th corresponds to the clash between Atlas and Necaxa, which will be played at 09:10 pm CST in the Jalisco Stadium. This matchup is clearly expected to be one of the most attractive mid-week games due to the great level that both teams showed during the last weekend, being also worth noting that Atlas must win it if they want to keep competing for the Play-In’s spots.

However, even when Atlas was able to cut off a streak of 7 games in a row without winning after their last-minute victory over Puebla (3-2), it must be noted that they’ve conceded 2 or more goals in 3 out of their last 4 games in a row. With that in mind, it’s pretty obvious that their competitiveness will directly depend on Djurdjevic and Gonzalez’s performances during the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, Necaxa recently offered a couple of spectacular games against Santos Laguna and America, victories that allowed them to climb up to the seventh spot, and in case of keeping the inspiration of players like Cambindo, they definitely will be competing for the playoffs’ spots. However, it also needs to be highlighted that their defensive line has been struggling as they conceded at least 1 goal in their last 4 consecutive games.
