Prediction published on 9/17/24, 7:26 PM  by Carlos Zabala in Liga MX Picks

Pumas and Puebla face each other in the last match scheduled for Tuesday in the action of the 8th round of the MX League at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario. In general, this matchup in recent times has almost always resulted in high-scoring games and in 4 of the last 5 there have been more than 2.5 goals in total.

Puebla is coming off a win against Queretaro at home, in a victory that seemed almost obligatory since Queretaro is last in the table by far. Ormero, who has become a key piece in attack for the team led by De la Torre, scored the penalty goal that put the locals in the lead in the 77th minute. Puebla then won that last match being the favorite to do so at home with pre-match odds of 1.93. Puebla is 9th in the general table, in the Play-in zone, and is undefeated in its last three matches.

Pumas are facing a crisis of results and could see their participation in the playoffs, something that has often seemed guaranteed, become an uphill challenge if they do not correct their course soon. Pumas have lost their last four games in all competitions and in three of them by a difference of more than one goal.
