Pumas UNAM versus Cruz Azul is a top-of-the-table clash in the Mexican Clausura on Saturday night. Pumas UNAM will be looking for a statement win here to improve their 19-point tally and possibly climb to the third spot in the standings. Efrain Juarez’s side managed to bounce back from their 3-2 defeat against Toluca to defeat Necaxa 1-0 last Saturday. They’ll want to build on that performance with maximum points at home.

Cruz Azul, on the other hand, has been the dominant side in the Mexican Clausura this season. They sit on top of the standings with 25 points from 10 games, having lost just one of their assignments. Nicolas Larcamon’s side made it six wins on the bounce with a resounding 3-0 victory over San Luis last time out. This win takes their total goal tally to 20, the highest of any side this season. They’re the +118 betting favorites against Pumas UNAM.

Our Pumas UNAM vs CF Cruz Azul Prediction

Forget about the league standings and other statistics; this game is a local derby that always delivers fireworks. The last time these two sides met was in November last year, with Pumas UNAM winning 3-2 on the road. However, Cruz Azul is on fire this season and could be on a revenge mission. They’ve won eight of their last nine matches while scoring first on eight of the previous 10 occasions. Cruz Azul also overwhelmed their opponents early in the game, winning five of their last six first halves. However, Pumas UNAM holds the home advantage and is also pretty solid this season. Still, we see them going down 2-1 in a thrilling exchange this weekend.

Our prediction for Pumas UNAM vs Cruz Azul: Over 2.5 goals.
