UNAM-Pumas vs Necaxa Prediction: I predict a productive game

The upcoming matchup in the opening Mexico Liga MX Clausura Round 1 matchup will kick off at Estadio Olimpico Universitario Stadium between UNAM-Pumas and Necaxa on Sunday, 12 January 2025. UNAM-Pumas will aim to secure a win on their home soil to extend their previous to two, while Necaxa will aim to prevent a defeat on the road following their unbeaten streak of four last year. The information I provided analyzes both teams' recent forms, H2H, Possible lineups, match facts, and my betting opinion on where you can lane your bets.

UNAM-Pumas snapped their winless streak of two during their last five games against Atlante in the World Friendly matchup in the match closed. Before the match, they suffered defeats in two games against Monterrey while they were victorious against Mazatlan FC and Queretaro. During these games, they have scored six goals while conceding seven. In this match, UNAM-Pumas will aim to secure a win on their home soil to extend their previous win to two.

Necaxa extended their winning streak to two during their last five games against Queretaro in a 4-3 win in the match closed. Before the match, they were victorious against Atlas. However, they tied against Atlas and Atl. San Luis while they suffered a defeat against Pachuca. During these games, they have scored nine goals while conceding eleven. Necaxa will aim to secure a win to extend their winning ways to three.

During their last five games, UNAM-Pumas failed to win any, while Necaxa won three, and both teams tied in two games. However, both teams scored against one another in two games, and more than two goals were recorded.

UNAM-Pumas won one of their last five games on their home soil.

Necaxa won one of their last five games on the road.

I expect both teams to find the net following their previous scoring matchup since both teams will aim to secure a win to extend their previous win matchup. Therefore, I expect both teams to score, while I expect more than goals to be recorded. Nevertheless, the visiting team have shown a class against the home team in their last five games. Therefore, I expect the visiting team to prevent a defeat on the road and secure a win or end in a draw in close.
