Pumas UNAM Preview
After the painful defeat against Santos in La Laguna (3-0), Pumas UNAM played a great game against Leon and won 4-1. Later, the team tied 0-0 against Xolos, in a match in which the team played with one less player for a long time. It is clear that Pumas gets stronger at home.
In this tournament, the team has not lost at home so far, and it has 6 goals scored. Indeed, the Pumas have not lost at the Pedregal since the Sky Cup, and that was against Cruz Azul (1-2), which means that they have not lost in Ciudad Universitaria for 5 matches.
Juan Dinenno, Gustavo del Prete and Diogo are the players who are leading the team’s offense, but now, the only issue is that the team will be playing away from home when it is used to play at home.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Sebastian Sosa; Pablo Bennevendo, Jose Galindo, Jonathan Sanchez, Adrian Aldrete; Jesus Molina, Higor Melitao; Diogo, Gustavo del Prete, Alek Alvarez; Juan Dinneno
Atlas Preview
Atlas has already played the match it had pending against Toluca 0-0, and this evidences that the team is going through a strange moment. It has gotten used to end its matches with a draw, and it is getting worse and worse: 3-3 against Querétaro, 2-2 against Santos and the aforementioned scoreless draw with the Diablos.
The team is struggling to score more and more each game, and its schedule is starting to become more difficult. Although it is not losing matches yet, the team is also not generating much offensively as it did in the first few matches played. Atlas is still in the qualification zone, but it has to improve, as 90% of the participants of the league are also in the qualification zone.
The curious fact is that this team has defeated Mazatlan 1-2 in its presentation in this tournament, and in preseason the team did the same thing with the same score. Still, Atlas has not been able to defeat anyone else in 7 matches, which makes us believe that something is wrong.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Camilo Vargas; José Abella, Anderson Santamaria, Hugo Nervo, Luis Reyes; Jeremy Márquez, Edgar Zaldivar, Jaziel Martínez; Christopher Trejo, Julio Furch, Julián Quiñones.
JefeBet Prediction
The Pumas are strong at CU and Atlas has only defeated Mazatlan. We believe that the Universitarios team will prevail, because it will be playing at home and because playing at noon in El Pedregal is a big advantage for its squad.
Prediction: Pumas UNAM 2-1 Atlas.
