Fri Jan 17 00:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Chivas Favored to Beat Necaxa in Friday’s Liga MX Clash, AI Predicts

**AGUASCALIENTES, MEXICO** – Chivas de Guadalajara is the slight favorite to defeat Necaxa in their Liga MX Clausura 2025 match this Friday, January 17th, at Estadio Victoria, according to an AI-powered prediction. The game marks Jornada 2 of the tournament.

While Chivas enters the match on the back of a 1-0 victory over Santos, Necaxa is desperate to break an 11-game winless streak. Historically, Chivas has dominated their matchups against Necaxa, winning eight of their last ten encounters.

Necaxa, despite boasting talented players like Agustín Palavecino (who had eight shots on goal in their last match against Pumas) and José Paradela, needs to improve defensively to challenge Chivas’s strong offensive capabilities, even without star players like Alan Pulido or Chicharito Hernández. The addition of Luis Romo further strengthens Chivas’s squad.

The AI prediction gives Chivas a higher probability of winning, but acknowledges Necaxa’s urgency and potential for an upset. The match is anticipated to be closely contested, with the outcome depending on key moments. The game will determine whether Necaxa can begin a resurgence or if Chivas will solidify their position as title contenders.
