The last game on the Liga MX schedule this Friday night will take place at Caliente Stadium, a venue expected to cause significant trouble for a team that has struggled a lot after the Leagues Cup, like Pumas UNAM. With this in mind, it makes sense to find Tijuana as the favorite team to secure a victory in this game, especially after being obliterated last week by Guadalajara.

However, even though Sebastián Abreu ratified his commitment to lead Tijuana toward playoff qualification after turning down the head-coaching job at Nacional Montevideo, his team's performance has been the worst since his arrival. Given this, it won’t be surprising if they keep collecting bad results in the coming weeks, even at home.

On Pumas’ side, the team is very close to the Liga MX playoff spots; however, since returning from the Leagues Cup, it hasn’t secured any victories. Furthermore, the offense has been far from competitive, scoring no more than one goal in its last five games, and fans have already started to show their disappointment. With that in mind, César Huerta’s return from Anderlecht is expected to help calm down the atmosphere.

Our Tijuana vs Pumas UNAM Prediction

These teams are expected to deliver one of the weekend's most entertaining games, and even though Tijuana is the favorite, there are no guarantees after their recent poor performance. In this regard, even though Tijuana is currently in playoff spots, they will most likely be eliminated during the regular season.

To conclude, it will be interesting to see whether César Huerta is in the starting lineup, as that could boost the offense with his frequent deep attacks. Therefore, the pick for Club Tijuana – Pumas UNAM is: Draw No Bet – Pumas UNAM!
