From the Estadio Olímpico Universitario, the home team will aim to start the Clausura 2025 with a victory, while Necaxa will seek to surprise under the leadership of their new coach, Nicolás Larcamón. Learn how both teams are performing, their strategies, and the keys to this exciting clash.
Pumas UNAM, led by Gustavo Lema, will look to kick off the Clausura 2025 with a home victory following an Apertura 2024 campaign that saw them reach the final stages. The team showed flashes of brilliance but also some inconsistencies that kept them from being direct title contenders.
In their last matches of the Apertura, Pumas suffered a painful elimination against Monterrey. Despite an improved offensive display in the second leg, they lost 3-5 at home, highlighting defensive struggles against top-tier opponents. Earlier, they secured significant wins, such as a 1-0 against Mazatlán and a 2-0 over Querétaro, showcasing their ability to dominate crucial matches when their strategy finds balance.
Necaxa, under the guidance of Nicolás Larcamón, enters the Clausura 2025 with hopes of improving on their challenging Apertura 2024. The team finished near the bottom of the table, struggling to compete against higher-ranked teams. Larcamón's arrival seeks to revamp their tactical approach and restore competitiveness to the Aguascalientes squad.
In their last Apertura matches, Necaxa ended the tournament with disappointing results. They managed draws like 1-1 against San Luis and 0-0 with Atlas, but also suffered heavy defeats, such as a 6-2 loss to Pachuca, exposing critical defensive issues. Despite these struggles, their 2-0 victory over Pumas in September showcased their potential to surprise if they can achieve cohesion and tactical discipline.
