1-1 Draw
Pumas UNAM and Necaxa have two of the worst defensive lines in the league. Necaxa conceded 10 goals in six games while Pumas UNAM failed to keep the ball away from their net on 11 occasions.
Neither side will record a clean sheet and considering how evenly matched they are, we offer you a 1-1 draw Necaxa vs Pumas UNAM prediction for Thursday. It certainly isn’t going to be something unprecedented as we saw a 1-1 tie two years ago between the two teams. Furthermore, four of the last 10 matches came extremely close to ending that way and we feel it’s about time the two clubs share the spoils with a 1-1 draw once more.
BTTS
Six of the last 10 games between the two teams ended with both teams scoring at least one goal. We’re confident with our Necaxa vs Pumas UNAM prediction as neither team is performing well at the back. With a Dani Alves-shaped hoped at the back, Pumas UNAM are still struggling to find their defensive style but it doesn’t seem that the manager is doing a good job so far. After all, Pumas UNAM conceded at least once in four of the last six Liga MX fixtures.

Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Necaxa
Necaxa came very close to surprising Club America at Estadio Azteca the other day but the home team kept their one-goal lead to the end despite the fact that coach Andres Lillini’s boys were hammering away. With one victory, one draw, and four losses in six games, Necaxa can’t aspire for anything different than 15th place which is undoubtedly an embarrassing page of Necaxa’s history.
Predicted lineup – Gonzalez (GK), Oliveros, Segovia, Pena, Van Rankin, Poggi, Esquivel, Madrigal, Jurado, Batista & Mendez
Pumas UNAM
Juan Dinenno and Gustavo Javier del Prete found the net on the 12th of February but it wasn’t enough as Pumas UNAM got thrashed 4-2 by a superior Tigres UANL side. The team is in 10th place with a performance that can shortly be described as mediocre. How else would you put it when the team has two victories, two draws, and only two losses in six games? Even the goal ratio is quite unimpressive at 10:11.
Predicted lineup – Sosa (GK), Aldrete, Freire, Sanchez, Galindo, Molina, de Olivera, Ortiz, Bermudez, Dinenno & del Prete

Player to Watch: Juan Dinenno
Despite Pumas UNAM’s somewhat mediocre 2-2-2 record in the Clausura race so far, Juan Dinenno is certainly the reason that the manager is keeping his job these days! Pumas UNAM’s striker is in the form of his life as he scored five goals in six goals. But he’s definitely no one-trick pony as he provided a teammate with an assist and he’ll undoubtedly be one of the key players to watch and one who’ll make our Necaxa vs Pumas UNAM prediction a massive success!
