Pumas UNAM vs Monterrey: Our Top Picks and Odds For Sunday’s Clash
It’s always nice to play in a final, especially in the CONCACAF Champions League but isn’t the players’ focus going to be on that instead of Liga MX?
Draw or Monterrey
Pumas UNAM isn’t performing great in Liga MX. The team is in the 10th position in the league with 16 points in 13 games and only one victory in the last five league games. The focus is completely set on the final of the CONCACAF Champions League and the players can’t wait for that game to begin. The Liga MX clash against Monterrey isn’t that important for the team and coach Andres Lillini will likely make rotations to his squad.

Monterrey has the 2nd best defense in the Clausura and has conceded only 11 goals in 13 games so far. The only team that is more competent in that area is Atlas who has conceded only 10 goals.
