Analysis:

Free Soccer Play from Doc’s Sports. Liga MX Take Necaxa/Queretaro OVER 2.5 (-150) (9 p.m. EST, Friday March 28) Jump on this line ASAP as this is great value to get any Necaxa match, especially at home, at a 2.5 line. There have been 47 goals scored in Necaxa matches this season through 12 matches. So there have been almost four goals per match. They have scored 26 and allowed 21. All six home matches for Necaxa this season have gone over 2.5, and four of them have gone over 3.5. Two of them saw five total goals scored. Queretaro isn’t an offensive juggernaut by any means, but they average close to a goal per match and with the fast pace the home side plays at, we expect the visitors to get ample opportunities on goal.
