Sat Jan 18 01:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Chivas Look to Build on Winning Start Against Struggling Necaxa

**Aguascalientes, Mexico –** This weekend’s Liga MX Clausura 2025 match between Necaxa and Chivas pits two teams with contrasting fortunes from their opening games. Necaxa, winless in their last 11 league matches, will host a confident Chivas side coming off a 1-0 victory over Santos.

Necaxa, despite possessing talented players like Argentinians Agustín Palavecino and José Paradela (both former River Plate stars), are struggling to regain their form following a poor Apertura 2024. They’ll be hoping to finally secure a home win after a five-month drought.

Meanwhile, Chivas, the second most successful team in Liga MX history, are looking to continue their strong start. Their recent signing, midfielder Luis Romo from Cruz Azul, further boosts their squad. Their recent away form is also encouraging, having scored multiple goals against Pachuca and Santos in two of their last three away matches. Historically, Chivas have also enjoyed success against Necaxa at the Estadio Victoria.

Betting odds favor Chivas, but Necaxa’s Palavecino, who recorded eight shots (seven from outside the box, two on target) against Pumas, poses a significant threat. Despite the absence of key strikers like Alan Pulido and Chicharito Hernández due to injury, Chivas’s offensive prowess, especially away from home, makes them the likely victors. The match promises an exciting encounter.
