Betting on Pumas
The problems in Pumas do not seem to be finished. The university team has won two of the seven matches it has faced so far, and is on a negative streak of four matches without a win. The most worrying aspect of the case is that it has accumulated two consecutive defeats.
In midweek, they lost 3-1 to Necaxa, in a game in which they found themselves at a disadvantage very early in the match and were unable to turn things around. Amidst all the bad news, there is also good news for the capital’s players since they have not lost in their last three games. Both of the team’s two wins have come at home, and here they once again have the chance to dominate at home.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Sebastián Sosa; Adrián Aldrete, Nicolás Freire, Arturo Ortiz, Pablo Monroy; Higor Meritao, Santiago Trigos; Eduardo Salvio, Gustavo del Prete, Diogo; Juan Ignacio Dinenno.
Betting on Chivas
Guadalajara is not doing things perfectly, but it is getting good results and that is the most important thing, since after seven games it registers only one loss. They come inti this match on a four-game unbeaten streak, coming off a 2-1 win over Tijuana.
What’s more, Chivas is the second-best away team in the Mexican league, with two wins and two draws in four away games. They have kept two clean sheets in this condition, the only ones they have so far, and have only conceded two goals playing as visitors.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Miguel Jiménez; Jesús Sánchez, Gilberto Sepúlveda, Jesús Orozco, Alejandro Mayorga; Sergio Flores, Roberto Alvarado; José de Jesús González, Víctor Guzmán, Ronaldo Cisneros; Daniel Rios.
JefeBet Prediction
Pumas will be under a lot of pressure in this match because of their recent numbers, while Chivas will arrive with a boost of confidence. Reviewing the recent history, Guadalajara has won the last three meetings against this rival and this dominance is likely to continue.
Prediction: Chivas wins by a score of 0-1.
