Mazatlan FC vs Club Necaxa Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 9/16/24, 10:00 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 9/18/24 at 12:06 PM in Liga MX Picks

Mazatlan will arrive at their stadium on Thursday as the favorite to beat Necaxa with odds of up to 2.06.

Mazatlan was one of the most worthy representatives of Liga MX in the Leagues Cup, but they have to qualify soon for a playoff in the local tournament, something that has eluded them the last 4 tournaments. It does not seem easy to achieve it because their start was not the best and they are again 13th, in the part of the table where they usually fluctuate, but with only 5 points and 5 points precisely from Necaxa who holds the last play-in spot in this tournament and is 10th.

Mazatlan is, without a doubt, one of the most unpredictable teams in Liga MX, capable of beating Pachuca 3-0 as they did on August 23, but also prone to losing against teams like Juarez who beat them twice in less than 5 months.

In their return to Mexico from the United States after being eliminated and thrashed in the round of 16 of the Leagues Cup, Necaxa was able to quickly recover and obtain two victories at home by more than one goal difference, but lost their only away game since their return 2-3 against Santos Laguna in Torreón.
