On Friday, Matchday 17 of the Mexican Primera División will feature a high-stakes clash between Puebla FC and Club Necaxa at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc. With both clubs at opposite ends of the table, this matchup has contrasting implications—survival for the hosts and consolidation of a top-eight spot for the visitors.
Puebla FC enters the fixture languishing in 17th place with just 9 points from 16 matches. A poor season has seen them register only two wins alongside three draws and a concerning 11 defeats. The team has struggled to find any real consistency, managing only 12 goals while conceding 24—one of the weakest attacking records in the league. Their recent form is particularly bleak, with no wins in their last five games and a 1-0 loss to Guadalajara in their most recent outing.
In contrast, Club Necaxa comes into this game in seventh place with 28 points, having enjoyed a strong season so far. With nine victories, one draw, and six losses, Necaxa has combined solid defending with an effective attack, scoring 33 goals and conceding 27. Their 2-2 draw with FC Juárez last time out highlighted their fighting spirit, as they managed to come away with a point in a hard-fought contest.

Our Puebla vs Club Necaxa Prediction
Given the form of both teams, Necaxa will be considered the favorites heading into this fixture. Their squad depth, sharper frontline, and greater consistency make them a tough opponent for any struggling side.
Puebla, despite home advantage, will need a near-flawless performance to pull off an upset. With little momentum and increasing pressure, they're desperate to avoid ending the season at the bottom.
From a tactical perspective, Necaxa’s ability to control possession and capitalize on defensive lapses could prove decisive. While Puebla may find opportunities on the counter, their recent lack of scoring touch raises doubts about their ability to take advantage.
All signs point toward a potential away win for Necaxa. However, considering both teams have vulnerabilities at the back, a bet on both teams to score could also be a solid prediction for this encounter. Our prediction for Puebla vs. Club Necaxa: Club Necaxa to win.
