Referee: Gabriel Favale (Argentina)

Last Match: Necaxa 2-0 Audax Italiano

Audax Italiano (Chile)

The team has make a fair Libertadores Cup, the team is tie on seven points to mighty Sao Paulo, to share the second position, still goal difference send the team to third position. The team open drawing with Sao Paulo what broughts lights of attention to the team, but after that went to fall against Necaxa on México. Went to Pery and won 1-3 to Alianza Lima what broughts the team back to the fight. The best thing was his second win in Libertadores Cup on home to Alianza Lima on away what brings the team fullback in the competition for the first place.

The team could reach first place if taken victory against Necaxa and that Sao Paulo doesn't beat weak Alianza Lima (which seems unlikely). The team have shown solid on home, but on away the team have been lost against other teams than against Alianza Lima. Victory is almost the only way for Audax as they close against Sao Paulo on away and that is one of the toughtest visits to make.

In local tournament the team fall 3-2 against Atletico Nublense, which is inside the top five. With the result the team fall to the fourth position, with 21 points from 10 matches, as the team has a match pending, that could mean reaching second place of the tournament if victorious. So now the team has to focus on Libertadores Cup. The team have seven matches without lossing in home, last defeat was 23, December 07 against right now first place of the local tournament Colo Colo.

Absences:

Necaxa (Mexico)

Last match the team lost 3-0 to Sao Paulo that shows the home power Brazilian teams have. This was the first defeat of Necaxa in Libertadores Cup. The team is still on pole position for qualify for next round. The team faces here a match that is victorious will secure their place on next stage, but anyother result will open the race, a defeat could make the team lost the first place of the group.

Necaxa first victory was 1-2 to Alianza Lima, then won 2-0 to Audax Italiano in home and won to Sao Paulo 2-1 in Mexico, before falling 3-0 in Brazil. If there is a reason to highlight the scores is that Necaxa have claim two short victories as has just one goal of advantage, apart mention is Audax Italiano match and defeat in Brazil.

But if something positive have Necaxa is closing in home against the worst team of the group Alianza Lima (who has been unable to won).

In local tournament, the team lost 1-2 to San Luis, Necaxa played that match with substitutes as the main players remain in southamerica to avoid the long trip and be well rested for this important match. The team with this has show their real stake is on the International tournament of Libertadores Cup more than in local tournament.

Injured:

FW Alfredo Moreno

FW Aarón Padilla

Match:

Audax Italino will be pushed as match goes by to attack more, Necaxa could secure their ticket here and that will provide a tight match.

Prediction:

I expect Necaxa to go back to their good dispaly they have, and more with rested players and eager to perform, is true away victories have been decreasing but I expect Necaxa to take something as they havea good middlefield to generate danger. So Necaxa +1/2AH.
