Necaxa team news and form: Larcamon to rely on the best
There are no suspended or injured Necaxa players. Their Argentine manager will be able to utilize the bench, but we doubt this will prove our key Necaxa vs Cruz Azul predictions wrong. After all, the visitors are at their lethal best these days.
Predicted lineup: Unsain (GK), Pena, Oliveros, Lara, Rosero, Palavecino, Rodriguez, Mayorga, Paradela, Perez & Cambindo

Cruz Azul team news and form: Possession not everything in soccer
With a massive 64.0% ball possession, coach Anselmi’s boys managed to lose their visit to Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez. They couldn’t produce a single shot on target, which was the reason they didn’t earn any points.

Player to watch: Angel Sepulveda
Angel Sepulveda is the leading finisher for coach Anselmi this season. Sepulveda bagged nine goals since the start of the Clausura campaign. The veteran is among the top performers for the visitors and we expect him to get minutes for his club this week.
Second player to watch: Tomas Baldoni
Toms Baldoni is proving his worth with each passing week. Since the start of the season, Necaxa’s backup striker has scored two goals. However, surely he will do his best to disprove our top Necaxa vs Cruz Azul predictions.
