Pumas UNAM and CF Pachuca will meet in the second leg of this Mexican Liga MX semi-finals on Sunday night at Estadio Olimpico Universitario. Pumas will be looking to maximize their home advantage and overturn their slim 1-0 defeat on Thursday night. They fell behind through a 36th-minute strike from Oussama Idrissi and never looked like finding their way back into the contest. In fact, they recorded just one shot on target throughout the 90 minutes.

CF Pachuca, on the other hand, will know that even a draw will be enough to book their spot in the finals. They limped towards the end of the regular season, losing two back-to-back matches. However, they rediscovered their footing to bundle out Toluca in the quarterfinals after securing a 3-0 aggregate win. Pachuca will be fully aware that they can become the hot favorites to win the championship if they get past the Clausura leaders on Sunday.

Our Pumas UNAM vs CF Pachuca Prediction

Pumas UNAM are the +120 betting favorites in this contest. They’ll know that a 1-0 lead is too risky for the visitors to defend on Sunday night. Therefore, they could fly out of the gates from the first whistle to get an early goal and set up a thrilling end-to-end encounter. Pumas will also be boosted by the fact that Pachuca will be without the suspended Eduardo, arguably their most reliable defender this season. But with Pumas pushing forward aggressively, they could leave behind defensive gaps that their opponents could exploit through counterattacking football. Note that the visitors have found the back of the net in 11 of their last 12 matches. We don’t expect that to change on Sunday. Still, the hosts should edge it 2-1.

Our prediction for Pumas UNAM vs CF Pachuca: Both teams to score.
