Necaxa host FC Juarez at Estadio Victoria on Saturday in a Liga MX Apertura matchday 14 fixture that pits the two lowest-placed sides in the 18-team table against one another. Necaxa sit 17th with 9 points from 13 matches, while FC Juarez occupy 18th with 4 points from the same number of outings. The gap between the two sides stands at 5 points.
Necaxa arrive at this match having taken just 1 point from their last five matches, a run that includes their current sequence of 2 consecutive defeats. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-0 loss to Guadalajara Chivas, and across those five matches they have suffered four defeats and one draw. Their record across the campaign reads 2 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses, with 15 goals scored and 26 conceded.
FC Juarez have also lost their last two matches in a row, going down 1-0 to Atlante FC most recently and 5-0 to Cruz Azul before that. Despite those recent setbacks, they have accumulated 4 points from their last five matches — more than Necaxa managed in the same span — thanks to a draw with Club Tijuana and a victory over Tigres UANL. Over the full Apertura campaign, FC Juarez have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 11, scoring 8 goals and conceding 32.
The head-to-head record between the clubs offers some recent context. When the sides last met at Estadio Victoria in September 2025, the match finished 1-1. In the most recent encounter, played in February 2026, Necaxa came away with a 2-1 win at FC Juarez.
With both sides in the bottom two of the Liga MX Apertura table and both carrying 2-match losing runs into Saturday's fixture, the stakes at Estadio Victoria are plain to see in the standings.
