Necaxa and Puebla are gearing up for a face - off at Estadio Victoria in the upcoming Liga MX match . Necaxa suffered a defeat in their opening game against Tigres , while Puebla secured a victory over Santos Laguna in their first match of the season . The match is set to take place on Saturday , with both teams looking to make their mark early in the campaign.
Necaxa had a disappointing Apertura campaign last season , finishing at the bottom of the table .

On the other hand , Puebla had a strong showing in the Apertura , finishing in the top four . They started the Clausura season on a positive note with a win over Santos Laguna . Both teams will be looking to build on their performances in this upcoming clash.
In terms of team news , Necaxa are expected to have almost every player available for selection , with Alek Alvarez being the only likely absentee due to a shoulder injury . Diber Cambindo , the joint - top scorer of the 2024 Clausura , is set to lead the attack once again . Puebla , on the other hand , will be missing Facundo Waller due to a knee injury . Lucas Cavallini , who scored in their previous match , will be a key player for Puebla.
In their previous encounters , the home team has struggled to secure a win in the last six meetings between Necaxa and Puebla . Both teams will be aiming for a positive result in this upcoming match . Given Necaxa 's recent inconsistency at home and Puebla 's strong start to the season , a closely - contested draw with a scoreline of 1 - 1 is predicted . It will be interesting to see how both teams perform in this highly anticipated Liga MX clash.
