The final game of the eighth Liga MX matchday will feature an intriguing clash between Guadalajara and Pumas UNAM at Akron Stadium this Sunday night. The odds favor Guadalajara to secure an easy victory; however, facing a team like Pumas could prove more difficult than expected given its current momentum.
In this regard, Pumas UNAM faced a pending game against León last Thursday night, and even though its crowd showed its upset after a six-game winless streak, the team finally secured a victory. That victory is expected to give Solari’s players extra motivation, as they scored more than one goal for the first time since their 5-1 win over FC Juárez in July.
Meanwhile, Guadalajara will most likely remain in the race for the top spot in the standings throughout the regular season, and they currently have a five-game unbeaten streak. However, Gabriel Milito’s team is still showing big duality in terms of offensive effectiveness, so it’s unknown if this team will be able to find the back of the net more than once, or if the forwards will miss the target as many times as they did against Pachuca and Santos Laguna.

Our Chivas vs Pumas UNAM Prediction
Given these factors, this game will be key for Guadalajara to build momentum before facing the National Derby against América next week, so showing an effective attack against one of its toughest rivals in the league would also help Gabriel Milito stay relaxed during such a tough stretch of the schedule.
In conclusion, even though Guadalajara has proved to be a more competitive team than Pumas UNAM, they shouldn’t show any signs of overconfidence, especially since Pumas defeated León midweek. Therefore, the pick for CD Guadalajara – Pumas UNAM is: Time of 1st Pumas UNAM Goal – 16th Minute and Over!
