Latest news and statistics from Necaxa

Necaxa is set to face Pumas UNAM in the fifth round of the 2026/2027 Liga MX, with the team looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season. Currently ranked 12th in the table, Necaxa has accumulated six points from four games, a modest return that will need to improve if they are to avoid relegation. In their last five matches, Necaxa has shown glimpses of promise, but ultimately fallen short. A 1-2 defeat to León in their most recent Liga MX outing was a particularly disappointing result, coming as it did after a promising start to the game. However, Necaxa's performance in the Leagues Cup has been more encouraging, with victories over New York City and a respectable defeat to Philadelphia Union. Despite these positive signs, Necaxa's overall form remains a concern, and they will need to tighten up at the back if they are to stand any chance against Pumas UNAM. The team's defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed in recent games, with Necaxa conceding at least one goal in each of their last five matches. As Necaxa prepares to face Pumas UNAM, they will be aware of the need to improve their defensive solidity if they are to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat. With Pumas UNAM's attacking prowess well-documented, Necaxa will need to be at their best if they are to emerge victorious from this encounter. In terms of team news, there have been no major injury concerns or suspensions reported for Necaxa in the lead-up to this match. However, it remains to be seen how coach will line up his team, with several players vying for a starting spot. With Pumas UNAM's strong form and Necaxa's defensive vulnerabilities, this promises to be a closely contested encounter. Our experts believe that Pumas UNAM will start as favourites, but Necaxa's recent performances in the Leagues Cup suggest that they may be capable of causing an upset.
