On Friday, Necaxa and Pumas face each other in the game scheduled as the last of the day. It is a duel of direct rivals where Pumas is in 9th place with 10 points and two places below is Necaxa, in the elimination zone, with 7 points.

Necaxa's last 4 games have been full of action and goals. Before leaving for the international break, Necaxa suffered a painful defeat in Torreon against Santos Laguna. Nexaca was winning 0-2 until the 75th minute, in the last part of the game Santos would turn the score around and would end with a goal by Jimenez in the 98th minute winning 3-2.

Pumas and Necaxa have already met this year, tying 2-2. In that match, Pumas failed twice to maintain their one-goal advantage for more than 10 minutes, although statistically speaking they dominated, as in that match, Pumas had up to 73% possession and 22 shots, 10 of which were on target.

Pumas still seem to have been unable to recover from the 4-0 defeat by Seattle Sounders in the Leagues Cup. In their return to Mexico after the tournament in the United States, Pumas lost against Atlas and against their rival Tigres at home.
