The only game in Liga MX's calendar to be played this Sunday will feature the clash between Guadalajara and Pumas UNAM. The aforementioned game will take place at 08:07 pm CST at Akron Stadium, and it’s expected to be one of the most spectacular games of the weekend due to the outstanding performance that both teams have shown throughout the regular season.
Despite these factors, the odds favor Guadalajara to win, as their attackers have been more consistent than those of Pumas. Furthermore, it cannot be ignored that Pumas haven’t been able to secure many positive results when playing away from home, so they aren't expected to have a brilliant performance as they did against América and Cruz Azul before the international break.
Meanwhile, Guadalajara currently has a four-game winning streak, and even though they were able to score many goals this season, their defense is far from being consistent. To illustrate the defensive issues mentioned, we can look at their most recent 3-2 victory over Monterrey, in which they nearly lost a three-goal advantage during the final minutes.

Our Chivas vs Pumas UNAM Prediction
Considering all these factors, it makes sense that the odds made Guadalajara the favorite team to win, but they aren’t expected to show such a dominant performance as the one they had against Santos Laguna and León some matchdays ago.
To conclude, one of the main objectives for Guadalajara after the international break is to increase their defensive consistency, as that could make a genuine difference between competing for the championship or not this season. Therefore, the pick for CD Guadalajara – Pumas UNAM is: Both Teams To Score - No!
