The Necaxa vs Cruz Azul Liga MX match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Rayos host Los Celestes at the Estadio Azteca this Friday, July 20, at 7:00 PM Pacific.
Necaxa sold Brian Fernandez late last season and really has not been the same team since then. The team from Aguascalientes specifically hit the Chilean market in the offseason and brought in players like Juan Delgado and Claudio Baeza.
Necaxa overperformed last season and is not expected to repeat that performance with a more limited squad this season. Some of the players to watch on Guillermo Vazquez’s team include Jesus Angulo and “Lalo” Herrera.
Cruz Azul is expected to make the postseason in the 2019 Apertura tournament and has the potential to challenge for the league title. La Maquina was knocked out in the quarterfinals last season and will be looking to improve on that mark in this semester.
Ricardo Pelaez and the front office were able to secure players like Guillermo Fernandez and Paraguayan international Juan Escobar. Cruz Azul did not let go of any key players in the transfer window and will be a very competitive team under the guidance of Pedro Caixinha.
Necaxa vs Cruz Azul Prediction
FutnSoccer predicts a slim 1-0 win for Cruz Azul as Necaxa tends to play a conservative playing style and does not allow many goals.
