⚽ Tijuana vs Necaxa – LIVE: All or Nothing for Xolos on Matchday 14 of Clausura 2025
Estadio Caliente, Tijuana – The excitement of the Liga MX Clausura 2025 ignites in the Borderland, where the Xolos of Tijuana host the red-hot Necaxa Rayos on Matchday 14, in a showdown that could define both teams’ fate in the tournament.
🐕 Xolos: The Last Hope for a Playoff Spot
Tijuana faces its last real chance to fight for a playoff berth. With just 10 points from 16 matches, the team led by Cirilo Saucedo sits in 16th place in the standings and desperately needs a win.
Their recent 1-2 away victory over Monterrey gave them a breath of life, and now they aim to keep the momentum at home, where they will play two crucial consecutive games. If they fail to win against Necaxa, they will have to rely entirely on other results.
⚡ Necaxa: Nearing Qualification
The story is quite different for Necaxa, enjoying a breakout tournament under Nicolás Larcamón. With a solid and consistent campaign, the Rayos are aiming to secure a spot in the Liguilla, either directly or through the Play-In.
They come into this match on the back of two consecutive wins (against León and Querétaro) and know that a road win would push them even closer to qualification.
