Necaxa will welcome Club America to Estadio Victoria in Liga MX Apertura on Saturday.
Necaxa suffered a 1-0 home loss when the two teams last met in April. Los Rayos will look to avenge that defeat, but America are in good form this season. However, Necaxa talismans Milton Gimenez and Facundo Batista could be quite a handful.
America are on an eight-game winnin run and are atop the league table with 28 points. The 13-time Liga MX winners are seeking their first title since 2018. However, they cannot afford any slip-up, with Monterrey only behind on goal difference. This clash will be a fresh title test for America, who will look to establish a comfortable lead atop the standings.
The last time Necaxa took points off America at the Estadio Victoria was in August 2020, when the two teams settled for a 1-1 draw.
