Player to watch: Rogelio Funes Mori
It goes without saying that Rogelio Funes Mori will be a starter for coach Gustavo Lema this week. The striker is one of the best finishers in Mexico in recent years, and he will do his best to help his team succeed on the 7th of July.
Second player to watch: Gil Alcala
Seeing as starting shot-stopper Julio Gonzalez is currently playing for Mexico in the Copa America, we believe it’s Gil Alcala who’ll be under the sticks for the home team. We are sure that his presence will help our Pumas UNAM vs Leon predictions succeed.
