Necaxa host Club Puebla at Estadio Victoria on Friday, September 11 (9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 PM PT).
There’s no fresh injury or suspension news on either side. Necaxa’s attack still runs through Julian Simon Carranza, who has 4 goals from 16 shots (7 on target) this term, with Miguel Emilio Rodriguez Macias and Juan David Valencia Longa each adding a goal of their own. Club Puebla arrive with Eduardo Mustre Torres as top scorer on 3 goals, while Kevin Andres Velasco Bonilla supplies the service, creating 17 chances across 525 minutes.
Both sides go into this one off a defeat: Necaxa fell 1-3 at home to Cruz Azul in their last outing, while Puebla lost 2-0 at Club America. That pairing of results points toward a cagey night at Estadio Victoria rather than an open game, with our model landing on a narrow home win.

Necaxa vs Club Puebla Prediction
Puebla sit on 10 points from 6 games in the data available, still in the mix for a Liguilla spot, while Necaxa’s table numbers aren’t logged the same way here – their case rests on recent form instead, which has cooled since that 2-1 win over Monterrey. At Estadio Victoria we expect a tight, low-scoring affair, with Julian Simon Carranza’s movement enough to break the deadlock. Necaxa to win 1-0.
