Pumas and Querétaro suffered the same fate in the Leagues Cup: both lost their first two matches and their third, but on penalties. Out of the continental tournament, they refocused on Liga MX; there, too, they followed the same path in three matches, losing the first but winning the next two.

In the Leagues Cup, the current runner-up of Mexican soccer only scored one goal, by Angulo. But before that, at least in Liga MX, their attacking play had been flowing; they beat Toluca away with goals from Arteaga and Córdova, a pair of goals that came in a span of less than 6 minutes. Then they overwhelmed Juárez, also winning away with a tremendous 5-1 victory that included a hat-trick from Juninho.

Querétaro, for its part, has made good use of a tough first three runs against América, Pachuca, and then Tigres, putting in respectable performances in all three matches but winning the last two. Against the university team, the Gallos Blancos struck early with goals from Ávila and Coronel; Tigres tied it, but Uruguayan Homenchenko converted a penalty in the 102nd minute for the epic victory.

Our Pumas UNAM vs Queretaro Prediction

The last Pumas-Querétaro match at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario was on January 11 of this year. There, Panamanian Carrasquilla put his team ahead, but Coronel equalized for Querétaro in the second half.

This Querétaro side, managed by Chilean Gonzales, is impressive for its ability to generate attacks even with limited possession. Meanwhile, in Liga MX, Pumas has remained true to its style of defending with a large number of players, but also attacking using the same tactics.

Our prediction for Pumas vs Queretaro is: Both teams to score.

Prediction:
