We are ready to dive back into Liga MX as we prepare for the first matches of the season, starting with the opening matchday of the new Apertura 2025 featuring Toluca against Necaxa.
Toluca was the top-placed team on the board last season, and they are the current champions after beating America in the Finals, so they will be eager to get back on the field and try to make a good start to the season.
Necaxa struggled last season, but managed to grab the 5th spot on the board. However, they had a short Liguilla run, getting taken down by Tigres in the quarterfinals.
Now, both teams come to lock in, and this is one of the matches to tune into to catch a good look at as they get back into the right speed to work their way up on the scoreboard, and we couldn’t be more eager to see as it unfolds.

Why Bet on Toluca?
We expect Toluca to come into this new season swinging, but there could be a “championship hangover” effect. However, with their consistency over the last few seasons, we believe the team will be ready.
The Diablos Rojos performed exceptionally well throughout the season and in the Liguilla, and we expect to see similar results, especially against a familiar opponent like Necaxa.
Why Bet on Necaxa?
After being eliminated in the quarterfinals in a close game, we expect the team to be prepared to showcase their skills as the first few matchdays pass by.
However, this match might be the biggest hurdle, as not only do they face the defending champions, but they also were beaten in their previous meeting, so they will have to lock in once the ball is on the court.
Final Betting Analysis: Toluca vs. Necaxa
As we previously mentioned, The Diablos Rojos has had the better side of their encounters with Necaxa lately. After becoming Champions and having such a strong performance last season, everything points to them repeating the success they’ve had in previous matches against Necaxa.
However, there might be a chance that we see a “championship hungover” Toluca go on the field, and a vengeance-driven Necaxa on the field this Saturday.
The odds at Gambyl Exchange favor Toluca, with a Moneyline of -149, while Necaxa sits at +358, and a draw at +310.
We anticipate a victory for the hosts and hope for non-stop action as the teams prepare for their opening match in this new season of the Apertura of Liga MX.
Go for a win for Toluca. If you bet $100 at -149, you will gain $67.11 for a total payout of $67.11.
