Municipal
The Costa Rican team Municipal Grecia, is not one of the most powerful teams in their country, in their last tournament they finished in ninth position with 26 points, the team closed in a bad way by losing three consecutive games, and being a tournament of 12 teams is not a good record, now preparing for their next tournament even though it is not over yet, Grecia will play a match against Necaxa, which is a team that is putting together a good team, so Municipal could cause a surprise at the Victoria and put in doubt what has been done in the preseason for the hydrocalidos, the Costa Rican team is expected to give a great game and take advantage of everything they can get out of the game.
Necaxa prepares for rematch
Necaxa is in its last days of preseason before the start of the Clausura 2022, the rays knew how to get up in the previous tournament and in order not to repeat an uncertain start, Lozano's team is reinforcing in a great way, different players in all positions are arriving to the team to generate the internal competition that every good team needs, Such is the case of the arrival of Mendez and Godinez, both attackers with great qualities who will be fighting for the starting position so that neither can be confident of being the starter and not scoring goals. Necaxa has talent in its roster and added to the work of the Technical Director, everything points to a good season for the Club, despite the fact that the results in preparation games have not been so positive.
Another preseason duel for the Rayos
Necaxa will face Municipal de Costa Rica, the team from Aguascalientes continues its preparation for the Clausura 2022, the duel is expected to be 90 minutes as their last duel against San Luis was a four halves duel, Necaxa needs to get into a rhythm as there are few days left before the start of the tournament and their rival Municipal will want to show off in their visit.
