Pumas UNAM team news and form: Efrain Juarez calling the shots

Predicted lineup: Padilla (GK), Magallan, Duarte, Natan, Bennevendo, Caicedo, Trigos, Ergas, Carrasquilla, Quispe & Martinez

Player to watch: Angel Sepulveda
Angel Sepulveda barged into our Cruz Azul vs Pumas UNAM predictions after scoring 14 goals since the start of the season. We believe Sepulveda has the quality to be one of the top players for the club and it will definitely be interesting to see what he will produce at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes this week.
Second player to watch: Willer Ditta
If Ditta wants to play in the next game, he has to be careful against Pumas UNAM. He is getting booked way too frequently. Another yellow will mean he will skip Cruz Azul’s next match.
