Summary
- Both teams won their opening Liga MX Apertura fixtures.
- Monterrey seeks its 10th consecutive head-to-head victory.
- Necaxa aims to break a nearly five-year winless streak against Monterrey.
Necaxa and Monterrey are poised to compete for the leading position in the Liga MX Apertura standings this Sunday. Both clubs secured victories in their opening fixtures, setting the stage for a pivotal Week 2 encounter at the Estadio Victoria in Aguascalientes.
Maya, Monterrey’s new manager, secured a 3-2 victory in his debut, with Lucas Ocampos scoring twice. Despite the offensive success, the team must address defensive vulnerabilities after conceding two goals at home.
Necaxa achieved a dramatic comeback win against Atlante last weekend, thanks to an injury-time goal from Miguel Pedroza. However, they face a significant historical challenge, aiming to achieve their first positive result against Monterrey in almost five years, as Los Rayados pursue their tenth consecutive head-to-head triumph.
