Next Friday night is expected to be a fantastic opportunity for Pumas UNAM to regain trust before getting eliminated in the first round of the CONCACAF Champions Cup in midweek. However, even though Pumas are considered favorites to defeat Puebla, they should significantly increase their offensive effectiveness, as Puebla has been able to build a powerful defensive strategy.
With these expectations in mind, it’s worth noting that Puebla hasn’t conceded more than one goal during their last three straight games, a good mark when considering that they faced two of the most competitive teams in the league, like Cruz Azul and Toluca. Despite this, they have found deep trouble when trying to create dangerous opportunities, as they haven’t scored any goals since their 2-1 victory over Mazatlan.
Meanwhile, Pumas UNAM have struggled to find defensive consistency, and even though they didn’t concede any goals during the second leg against San Diego FC, the reality is that the American team was still in pre-season mode, so the altitude physically impacted them. Nevertheless, Pumas’ defense committed many errors in the referred game, so Jesus Rivas is expected to significantly improve his skills, as he was one of the players who committed the highest number of errors.

Our Puebla vs Pumas UNAM Prediction
Taking all this into account, this game is expected to be one of the least entertaining of the weekend due to the lack of offensive ideas that have affected both teams throughout this season. However, it’s a fact that Pumas UNAM is the team that will have the biggest pressure, as not winning this game could take them away from the playoff spots.
To conclude, Puebla will have real chances of securing at least one point in this game if they are able to take advantage of playing at home against a team with poor offensive ideas like Pumas UNAM. Therefore, the pick for Club Puebla – Pumas UNAM is: Both Teams To Score - No!
