Pumas UNAM vs Toluca Predictions & Betting Lines
Sinking lower and lower, Pumas UNAM will hardly make an impact on Sunday against Toluca at Estadio Olimpico Universitario but who knows? There’s always the possibility that our Pumas UNAM vs Toluca betting tips will be disproved by a team with four back-to-back Clausura losses.

Toluca to Win
With such a poor defensive record this season, we simply can’t make a case for the home team in our Pumas UNAM vs Toluca prediction as much as we’d like to. Yes, Pumas have the head-to-head advantage but their 2022/23 season isn’t going great.
Coach Antonio Mohamed’s boys are in 15th place and are in danger of missing out on the final series playoffs if they don’t buckle down and win some points. However, luck isn’t on their side as the schedule pits them against a glamorous Toluca team that rarely losses these days.
Over 1.5 Toluca Goals
Our key Pumas UNAM vs Toluca prediction has a staggering 58.6% chance of becoming successful. At least that’s what BetMGM’s -120 odds entail. Another foundation stone for our prognosis is the fact that the previous game between the two prolific Mexican teams ended with a fascinating 2-2 draw at Estadio Nemesio Diez in front of 27,233 people who certainly got their money’s worth.
Furthermore, with a Dani Alves-shaped hole at the back, Pumas UNAM’s defensive line is simply laughable this season. The team conceded goals on 26 occasions. The only four squads to concede more frequently are Liga MX’s punching bag, Mazatlan, Santos Laguna, and Puebla.

Pumas UNAM odds: +210 – 31.0%
Draw odds: +245 – 27.0%
Toluca odds: +127 – 42.0%
With the Dani Alves-shaped hole at the back, Pumas UNAM are rightfully the underdog in this race at +210 (31.0%). Toluca’s tremendous form took them all the way up to 2nd place in Clausura’s ranking and that’s the reason why at +127, Toluca are the expected winners with a 42.0% win probability.
Pumas UNAM vs Toluca Lineups & Team News
Pumas UNAM
After a quick review of the ranking, anyone can see that coach Antonio Mohamed’s boys aren’t exactly thriving these days. They are trailing by two points for 12th place and if they want to book a last-minute ticket for the final series, they’ll have to show us something else. The 3-1 victory over Atletico San Luis on the 9th of April was hardly convincing and it could’ve been a fluke as the previous four games all ended in losses.
Predicted lineup – Gonzalez (GK), Reyes, Freire, Sanchez, Bennevendo, Molina, Meritao, Huerta, Salvio, Ruvalcaba & Dinenno
Toluca
The only team that performs more convincingly than Toluca in the Clausura campaign is Monterrey. However, with 55% possession and only four shots on target against Puebla, coach Ignacio Ambriz’s side showed they are no pushovers and are capable of securing three points even in the direst of situations.
Predicted lineup – Volpi (GK), Garcia, Mosquera, Huerta, Angulo, Meneses, Baeza, Ruiz, Araujo, Lopez & Gonzalez

Player to Watch: Maximiliano Araujo
We can’t stress enough just how important the Dani Alves-shaped hole at the back is for our Pumas UNAM vs Toluca prediction. The Brazilian legend was a right-back. And coach Antonio Mohamed certainly needs someone to contain Toluca’s top finisher. Maximiliano Araujo operates on the left wing. With his lung-bursting runs down the wing, he gave us some Liga MX box-office moments this year to score six goals and provide six assists in the Clausura part of the season alone.
