Club Pachuca and Pumas UNAM will clash in Matchday 17 of the Mexican Clausura on Saturday night at Estadio Hidalgo. This will be a high-stakes top-of-the-table clash as both sides try to secure a higher finish. Pachuca is coming off a heavy 3-1 defeat on the road against Club Tijuana, grabbing a consolation goal in the 96th minute. This performance saw them drop from second to third, 4 points behind the league leaders, Chivas Guadalajara.

Pumas UNAM, on the other hand, defeated Juarez 4-2 on Tuesday night to climb to the second spot. Guillermo Martinez and Robert Morales grabbed braces to ensure the home side walked away with all the points. However, the game could’ve ended in a loss on another night after Pumas UNAM allowed the visitors to take a 2-goal lead. They’ll be keen to avoid any defensive lapses and possibly finish the season above Chivas, who are 2 points ahead.

Our CF Pachuca vs Pumas UNAM Prediction

We expect a thriller in this matchup, with CF Pachuca coming into this contest as the -105. The hosts will be keen to climb into the No. 2 spot, and a loss could see them drop to fourth in the standings. They’ve been exceptional in both attack and defense this season, scoring 27 goals while conceding 17. However, Pumas UNAM has a more lethal attack, having scored 32 goals this season while giving up 17. They could stun the hosts, who are known for their slow start. Pachuca conceded first in five of their last six matches, whereas Pumas UNAM scored first in four of their last five games. Overall, we’re laying the price on the in-form visitors to win 2-1.

Our prediction for CF Pachuca vs Pumas UNAM: Over 2.5 goals to hit.
