The Clausura 2026 Liga MX season could be labeled as the most difficult challenge of head coach Efrain Juarez’s career, because not only the media but also the fans will evaluate Pumas’ minute-by-minute performance. Additionally, Pumas made important changes in their sporting management, so they are expected to start the season with a clear victory over Queretaro next Sunday at noon.
Despite being favorites, it’s worth noting that Pumas haven’t invested a lot in transfers, but refreshing the offensive line with Robert Morales caused a positive expectation in some of the fans. However, the big task for Efrain Juarez’s team will be significantly decreasing the injuries and the suspensions, as these couple of factors caused deep issues during the last regular season.
Meanwhile, Queretaro has started a new era, which is expected to make them a competitive team in the medium term, a project that is clearly based on emulating the scouting strategy of teams like Brighton. With this in mind, the recent hiring of the Ghanaian youngster, Bless Ege, could be Queretaro’s first big deal, so they are expected to focus their strategy on not conceding early goals in this first game of the season.Limited Offer.
