Why Bet on Pumas?
At the beginning of October, Pumas was approaching the highest position in the table. Notwithstanding, the final stretch of the month was tough, losing two of its three matches.
However, in the last game, they beat Atlas 3-0 with goals from Juan Dinenno, César Huerta, and Gustavo del Prete. Huerta confirmed that he is the team’s best striker with eight goals. Between him and the Argentinian Dinenno, they gave 14 goals to Pumas, which confirms them as a very dangerous offensive duo in Manitoba.
The ‘Universitarios’ have the fifth-best attack of the Apertura 2023, with 26 goals. Defensively, they have 18 goals against, a figure that puts them in the average.
At the Olímpico Universitario stadium, Pumas have won four of their last five matches, improving their sensations in front of their home fans. Their victims have been Tigres, Atlético San Luis, Querétaro, and Atlas.
Defender Arturo Ortiz can return to the ‘Felinos’ lineup after serving his suspension. Argentinean striker Eduardo ‘El Toto’ Salvio will miss the game due to an injury.
Why Bet on Chivas?
When they had to raise their level to secure their place in the quarterfinals of the Liga MX, Chivas did just that, winning four of their last five matches.
On the last date, they beat Cruz Azul 1-0, with a goal by Jonathan Padilla. With these three points, they reached 27 units, placing them in fourth place.
So far, Chivas have scored 22 goals and conceded 21, which does not speak very well of their defensive performance. They are far from the marks of favorite teams such as América (14), Tigres (18) or Monterrey (15).
The good thing about the ‘Rebaño’ is that they have improved their away performances, as they have won the last two matches they have played in that condition, beating Puebla and Querétaro.
We should remember that Guadalajara is the current runner-up in Mexican soccer, and the fact that it is entering the next stage of the competition directly should be a warning to other rivals. This team has already shown greatness this year in the most important moments.
Ricardo Marín served his suspension on the last date, while Carlos Cisneros and José Macías were injured.
