Necaxa and Tigres will meet for matchday 10 of the Torneo Clausura of Liga MX in a duel that goes from one extreme to the other.
Necaxa has had a bad start with more defeats than anything else, but at home, the situation has not been terrible, and they hope it will stay that way.
Tigres, for their part, has just lost their undefeated streak, so they must straighten the course if they want to continue as one of the biggest candidates for the title.
When:
Friday, March 3 at 8:05 pm ET at the Victoria stadium
Moneyline odds:
Necaxa +340
Tigres -120

Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Necaxa?
Necaxa’s season looks like the last one and that’s not the idea. They barely have 8 points after 9 games and are in 14th place, out of the playoffs. They have only been able to win 2 games in this tournament, both at home against Cruz Azul (1-0) and Pumas (3-1), in addition to getting another 2 draws versus Tijuana (1-1) and Querétaro (1-1) last weekend. At home, they have achieved all their points: 8 out of 15.
The team’s top scorer is the Spanish Edgar Méndez (4) while goalkeeper Hugo González, despite conceding 14 goals, has been one of the main figures. Among the issues to take into account, they have scored a goal in all their matches and conceded in all of them, except against Cruz Azul. So, we see that it is a club that attacks a lot but has also a permeable defense.
The young midfielder Heriberto de Jesús will not be able to play this Friday after receiving a red card last weekend. His replacement could be Facundo Batista, although for that they would also have to move Méndez out of position.
Why Bet on Tigres?
Although one cannot speak of disappointment because they are in third place, much more was expected this year from Tigres. In addition to keeping the great team they had last tournament, they were reinforced with players like Fernando Gorriarán and Nicolás Ibáñez, the last scorer in the Mexican league. Over the weekend they lost at home to Chivas (1-2), their first loss of the tournament.
The team now led by Marco Antonio Ruiz has not been comfortable in their last games, as they drew at home with Juárez and scored no goals, as well as a tight win against Atlas (0-1) and the aforementioned defeat. With 6 conceded goals, they are the best defense in the tournament and Nahuel Guzmán is one of the best goalkeepers.
On the attack front, they have scored 15 goals, a little low. André-Pierre Gignac and Nicolás Ibáñez are the top scorers with 5 goals each, although the Argentine scored 2 with Pachuca. Who could return for this game is the central defender Igor Lichnovsky, sent off 2 games ago.
A curiosity is that those from Monterrey have had a better away tournament than at home, since far from home they have completed 3 wins and 1 draw, achieving 10 of the 18 points they have.
Final Betting Analysis: Necaxa vs. Tigres
It will be an attractive game to watch between two teams that have been left in debt and need to win. A good local against a great visitor, both usually score goals and have goalkeepers who are often the star, so we will surely see a lot of action. Although Tigres has a better team, we have not seen the expected steamroller, so we believe that Necaxa will surprice and be able to draw in Aguascalientes.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Tigres is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -120, while Necaxa has +340 and the draw is +260.
The last time they met was on October 8, 2022, and Tigres won 2-0 with a brace from Gignac, while the last time they met at the Victoria Stadium, Necaxa won 2-0 with goals from Rodrigo Aguirre and Alonso Escoboza.
Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the draw at +260, you will gain $260 for a total payout of $360.
