- 7 Common Questions About These Top Pumas UNAM vs Puebla Predictions:
Pumas UNAM to Win
The Dani Alves-shaped hole at the back is now filled and coach Rafael Puente seems to have things under control. Pumas UNAM’s last game was a victory against Mazatlan and while the visitors at Estadio Olimpico Universitario were hardly a serious opponent, it’s still important to gain momentum before a more important clash.
Puebla did well in the Apertura but there’s not a trace of their fine display at the moment. The only teams that are doing worse are Mazatlan and Queretaro and that’s certainly something we took into consideration when writing these Pumas UNAM vs Puebla predictions.
BTTS
Six of the last 10 showdowns between the two teams ended with both sides scoring and three of the last four games at Estadio Olimpico Universitario ended also ended with both of the teams scoring. Considering how poor Puebla have been in defense compared to their Apertura form, we’re confident that Pumas UNAM will find the net at least once on Sunday but they’ll also concede. After all, Puebla scored in three of their last four games in Liga MX.

Pumas UNAM odds: -120 – 53.0%
Draw odds: +275 – 25.0%
Puebla odds: +320 – 22.0%
It’s no wonder why Pumas UNAM are favorites to win at -120 (53.0%). Things just haven’t gone Puebla’s way these days and at +320 (22.0%) coach Eduardo Arce’s boys are big underdogs for the match on Sunday.
Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Pumas UNAM
As we mentioned previously in our key Pumas UNAM vs Puebla prediction, coach Rafael Puente got a nice victory over Mazatlan on the 25th of February. The game at Estadio de Mazatlan was completely under Pumas UNAM’s control as the visitors had 24 shots at target, eight of which were on target. With 53% possession and 477 passes, Pumas UNAM showed they are here to book a ticket for the final series play-offs but to do that they’ll first have to give Puebla a run for their money.
Predicted lineup – Sosa (GK), Murillo, Freire, Ortiz, Reyes, Salvio, Molina, Meritao, Huerta, Dinenno & del Prete
Puebla
Sure, Mazatlan and Queretaro are Liga MX’s punching bags but Puebla aren’t too far from those standards. With two victories, one draw, and six losses in nine Liga MX games, Puebla are simply a shadow of their former glory. The team did so well last season, we simply don’t know where their mojo went.
Predicted lineup – A. Silva (GK), G. Silva, Maia, Gularte, Gustavo, De Buen, Robles, Fernandez, Mancuello, Garcia & Barragan

Player to Watch: Juan Dinenno
Juan Dineno is Pumas UNAM’s key Clausura goalscorer. With seven goals to his name, he’s not only the best finisher at coach Rafael Puente’s disposal, but he’s also one of the best in the league. He provided teammates with two assists which further boosts his chances to be the most interesting player to watch on Sunday. We expect him to be a key player on the field and we’re sure that Puebla’s leaky defensive line will help him shine.
