The last game on next Friday night's Liga MX schedule will feature the clash between Tijuana and Pumas UNAM, a game in which Tijuana was made the favorite team to win according to the bookies’ odds. However, it shouldn’t be forgotten that Pumas are having an astonishing performance in the current season, and they remain as one of the only two unbeaten teams in the league.
Despite those great facts, playing at Caliente Stadium is well-known as a hard experience for all the teams in the league, so Tijuana is expected to take advantage of this situation to effectively neutralize Pumas’ offense. Nevertheless, Tijuana’s qualifying chances will be very limited due to Gilberto Mora’s absence, as the young midfielder is the strongest link between the defensive and offensive lines.
Meanwhile, Pumas can be considered one of the biggest surprises in the first half of the regular season, as nobody was expecting them to remain unbeaten after seven games were played. Even though they were able to build a very competitive roster with engaged offensive players like Álvaro Angulo, Adalberto Carrasquilla, and Juninho, this team still needs to increase its defensive consistency to avoid struggling as they did against Puebla two matchdays ago.

Our Tijuana vs Pumas UNAM Prediction
Taking all these variables into account, this game could turn into one of the less entertaining games of the weekend due to the very slow pace that Tijuana normally has when playing at home and because of the lack of understanding between Xolos’ midfielders and attackers.
Summarizing, even though Tijuana is expected to impose its conditions at home, Pumas should try to avoid the slow pace to take advantage of their attacker’s speed to create as many dangerous chances as possible. Therefore, the pick for Club Tijuana – Pumas UNAM is: Pumas UNAM Total Goals – Over 1.5!
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
