Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Necaxa?
Necaxa has not shown a good game and is in the same vein as last year. Despite this, they managed to beat Mazatlán as a visitor (0-1) in their last game and drew at the home of Juárez (1-1) in the previous one. It is the first time that they have chained two matches without defeat in the tournament.
With 12 points they are in 13th place, out of the playoff group due to goal difference, so a tie could put them in the top 12. Spaniard Edgar Mendez, who did not score a goal last tournament, has 5 in this and is the team’s top scorer.
On the other hand, Damián Batallini, who arrived as the great reinforcement of the team, had a good tournament, but much more is expected and needed from him.
Why Bet on Santos?
Santos is a team that is expected to fight at the top, but it is not. They have been interspersing defeats with draws or victories for 7 games, getting 15 points and being in 9th place.
The team’s big problem has been the defense. They have conceded 27 goals, being the second team that has conceded the most goals, only surpassed by Mazatlán (30), last. In their previous game, they lost 4-1 with León and also suffered the red card of Hugo Rodríguez, so the defender will not be able to play this weekend.
As visitors, they have 2 consecutive defeats and could only win in their first outing, against Mazatlán (1-2). Then they got 2 draws and 3 losses.
Harold Preciado and Juan Brunetta have formed a very good couple. The Colombian has scored 6 goals and given 4 assists, while the Argentine has 4 goals and 4 assists.
Final Betting Analysis: Necaxa vs. Santos
It will be an even match between two rivals who need a victory and who will go out to the field with that idea. Although Santos has better players, the defense has been very permeable and they have not fared well on the road, however, we believe that Necaxa still lacks a bit and that is why it will be a draw.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Santos is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of +159, while Necaxa has +167 and the draw is at +246.
The last time they met for Liga MX was on September 6, 2022, and Santos won 3-1 with goals from Juan Brunetta, Diego Medina, and Leonardo Suárez, while the last time they played at the Victoria Stadium, the Laguneros won as well, on that occasion by 0-3.
Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the draw at +246, you will gain $246 for a total payout of $346.
