Pumas UNAM vs Leon prediction for Liga MX & top tips
Leon’s players will set foot on Pumas UNAM soil with sky-high confidence following a robust performance over Necaxa last week.
Contents
BTTS – Yes
Is this prediction really a surprise? After all, the Pumas UNAM vs Leon rivalry is famously known for being one of the most interesting ones in Mexico in the past few years with seven of the last 10 head-to-heads ending with goals coming from both directions.
Furthermore, both teams already scored and conceded in their last games. Leon bagged two against Necaxa but were unfortunate to concede against their lackluster attacking trio while Pumas UNAM’s opening game was also 2:1 versus Juarez.
Double chance – Draw or Leon
We can hardly consider Pumas UNAM’s success at Estadio Olimpico Universitario against Juarez a major success as coach Rafael Puente’s boys needed a controversial 87th-minute penalty to get the full set of points. And it’s not like the home team has some serious advantage over Leon in the head-to-head department. The two victories, two draws, and six losses actually give the edge to the visiting team and our Pumas UNAM vs Leon prediction is firm – the visitors will win this one.

Pumas UNAM odds: +130 – 42.0%
Draw odds: +250 – 27.0%
Leon odds: +205 – 31.0%
The above-mentioned odds are adamant, at +205 betting odds, Leon are clearly not the bookies’ favorite to win this one as they expect only a 31.0% chance of success. Yes, Pumas UNAM have a 42.0% likelihood of snatching the three points but we feel that the +130 odds are just not worth it.
Predicted lineups, team news, and last result
Pumas UNAM
Pumas Unam have lost one game and won the other. It’s a rather lackluster performance by Rafael Puente’s boys and it’s difficult to predict how their next match will end as the players have definitely not been convincing. Just look at the last match – the 3:0 loss versus Santos Laguna was the least the players could’ve gone home with as with 19 shots on target, the boys from Estadio Nuevo Corona could’ve scored even more.
Predicted lineup – Sosa (GK), Aldrete, Freire, Galindo, Bennevendo, Ortiz, Alaffita, del Prete, Salvio, Pichardo & Dinenno
Leon
La Fiera are eager to get the ball rolling as the 2:1 success over Necaxa in the last fixture will undoubtedly have served as a motivation booster for coach Nicolas Larcamon and his players. The Electricians were never dangerous enough to be a real threat to Leon and despite their early 11th-minute opener, Nicolas Larcamon’s boys showed composure to pull a come-from-behind 2:1 win.
Predicted lineup – Cota (GK), Guevara, Barreiro, Ambriz, Tesillo, O. Rodriguez, Mena, Moreno, J. Rodriguez, Davila & Di Yorio
Starting lineups
Unam Pumas
Leon
*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to watch: Victor Davila
There’s a bright future ahead of Victor Davila for sure. The 25-year-old’s equalizer against Necaxa was a joy to behold and we’re convinced he has the potential to be far more lethal up front than this. Certainly, Pumas UNAM are no joke but it seems that coach Rafael Puente’s boys have difficulties nullifying players with Victor Davila’s profile – quick, technical, and deadly in the penalty area.
