This Liga MX fixture is a game between two teams still some way off the upper reaches of the table. Atlético San Luis sit 16th with 6 points from 8 matches, while Necaxa are 13th with 8 points from the same number of games. Neither side is on a winning run at the moment, so this is a match where both need points to keep their league situation from getting worse. The hosts lost their most recent match, and overall the team still concedes more than it scores, especially in the second half when it often lets opponents come back at them. Necaxa, too, have not beaten anyone for several matches, but their play still creates chances fairly consistently, and past meetings have almost always ended in Necaxa's favour. Based on the expected line-ups, Atlético San Luis are likely to pair Rafael Nicolas Llorente Sanz with David Rodriguez as finishers in a three-man defence, while Necaxa field Julian Simon Carranza as the lone target man in a 3-4-2-1 and use Lorenzo Abel Faravelli to control the tempo in midfield. The game should start with both sides waiting for their moment, then gradually open up into more of an exchange in the second half, especially late on when both teams tend to concede.
