Pumas defeated Puebla in the last matchday, winning 3-2 away with goals from Martínez, Morales, and Juninho. Now, the university team, which was eliminated from the Concacaf Champions League by San Diego FC, will put its unbeaten league record to the test when it hosts Monterrey at its home stadium.
This is a tough test for Efraín Juárez's men, as Monterrey has exerted tremendous dominance over them in recent years of matches between the two sides. You have to go back to 2022 to find the last time Pumas beat Monterrey in regulation time; since then, the Monterrey team has won or drawn in each of the following 11 encounters.
Monterrey did manage to qualify for the Concacaf Champions League, eliminating Guatemalan side Xelajú, and then secured a narrow victory against León in Matchday 6 of Liga MX. In that match, the ever-vigilant Spanish midfielder Sergio Canales appeared to score the goal, marking another promising start to the tournament for the veteran.

Our Pumas UNAM vs Monterrey Prediction
Due to a dislocated shoulder, Monterrey has been without the valuable French striker Anthony Martial, but the Monterrey team will be able to field an attack against Pumas featuring 'Tecatito' Corona, Lucas Ocampos, and their most recent signing, Uros Durdevic, who was one of Atlas' most prolific goalscorers.
The last time Pumas played a league match at the university, they thrashed Santos Laguna 4-0. Several factors suggest that the Pumas-Monterrey match could be a high-scoring affair.
Our prediction for Pumas vs Monterrey is: Over 2.5 goals.
