Pumas UNAM team news and form: Pumas’ attacking might could be problematic for Monterrey

We saw Pumas score twice on matchday 4 in Liga MX. If our Monterrey vs Pumas UNAM predictions are to succeed, coach Ortiz would have to find a way to nullify tremendous goalscorers Rogelio Funes Mori and Cesar Huerta.

Player to watch: Sergio Canales

Former LA Liga superstar Canales is the player to watch in our Monterrey vs Pumas UNAM prediction for one key reason – he’s Rayados’ star, the one who makes things happen. Bossing the midfield is what the Spaniard does best. Since the start of the season, he scored only once in Liga MX, but we are sure he’s capable of way more.

Second player to watch: Jordi Cortizo

Cortizo also found the net once for Monterrey. We believe that he will get some minutes to perform against Pumas UNAM, which is another plus in favor of Ortiz.
