America vs Necaxa Prediction
Club America have not had the best of starts to their league campaign, as despite being unbeaten in five games, they have managed just one win. The Eagles have been plagued by a leaky defence that has conceded six goals in five games, mitigating the 12 goals they have scored.
However, they are still heavy favourites to triumph over a Necaxa side they have not lost to in six previous meetings.
America should claim a comfortable victory in a high-scoring game but might not keep a clean sheet.
Prediction: Club America 3-1 Necaxa
