The action continues in round three of Mexican Liga MX as Club Necaxa play host to Monterrey on Wednesday. Fernando Ortiz’s men are unbeaten in their last six visits to the Estadio Victoria since a 1-0 loss in May 2019 and will look to extend this impressive run.
Club Necaxa picked up their first win of the new league campaign in style as they thrashed Puebla 4-1 on home turf last weekend.
This followed a 1-0 defeat against Tigre in the season opener on July 7, when André-Pierre Gignac netted a first-half penalty to hand Los Tigres a dream start to the campaign.
While Necaxa will look to pick up where they left off against Puebla, next up is the daunting challenge of taking on an opposing side who have won each of their most recent five meetings.
Monterrey were sent crashing back to earth last weekend as they suffered a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Cruz Azul on home turf.
Before that, Ortiz’s men kicked off the campaign with a 1-0 victory over Pachuca on July 8 courtesy of a 14th-minute strike from Sergio Canales.
Monterrey will be backing themselves to bounce back on Wednesday as they have won their last four matches, scoring 10 goals and conceding four since late April.
