The last game in the Liga MX quarterfinals will take place this Sunday night at Olímpico Universitario Stadium, a venue that is expected to be sold out as Pumas UNAM and América left everything to be decided in this second leg after delivering such a spectacular performance at Banorte Stadium last weekend.
In this regard, it’s worth noting that Pumas UNAM could be mentally affected after losing a two-goal advantage in the first leg, so even though they could qualify for the semifinals by sustaining the draw in this game, they are expected to take the offensive initiative. Taking this situation into account, scoring the first goal of the game will be key for them to find tranquility, as that could minimize the risk of facing polemical scenarios like in the first leg.
Meanwhile, América managed to secure a dramatic 3-3 draw; however, despite generating significant discussion among fans and the media throughout the week, they still need to win this second leg to qualify for the semifinals. Furthermore, it is important to note that the team has many injured players on the roster, which is expected to negatively impact their performance in this game.

Pumas UNAM - CF America Key Points
- Pumas UNAM have a three-game home winning streak, but they were only able to keep a clean sheet in one of them.
- América scored more than one goal in only one of their last five road games, so the absence of attackers like Brian Rodríguez, Víctor Dávila, and José Zúñiga is unfortunate news for this game.
- Pumas UNAM scored more than one goal in only one of their last five home meetings against América.
- América is crossing one of the worst crises in their recent history, so failing to qualify could end André Jardine’s era as their head coach.

Our Pumas UNAM vs CF America Prediction
As can be seen, this game will bring a whole transformation for the losing side, and even though Pumas UNAM’s fans felt affected by the referee during the first leg after conceding two penalties, it’s a fact that Pumas’ roster has been more consistent than América in recent months.
To conclude, this game isn’t expected to follow the first leg’s scoring pattern, as both defenses should increase their effectiveness to avoid conceding any kind of advantage to their opponents. Therefore, the pick for Pumas UNAM – Club América is: 1st Goal – Pumas UNAM!
