This Sunday, October 22, 2017 (10:00 AM Pacific) Pumas UNAM will host Monterrey at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario for a game in the Liga MX Apertura 2017. Both teams are living completely distinct moments and this game should be a complete mismatch but it can still prove to be an entertaining encounter.
Pumas UNAM is already on its third manager David Patino after starting the season with Paco Palencia then switching to Sergio Egea.
The Mexico City team is currently in 16th place with only 11 points but has seen a positive transition with David Patino at the helm. The Mexican manager is coming off a 2-0 win against Leon and before that led his team to a scoreless draw against Necaxa away from home. Pumas UNAM has a solid squad but seems to be missing a leader to propel the team to success, Patino may prove to be that man and this will be a tremendous test for him and his players.
Monterrey has been the best team in Mexico this tournament, currently in first with 27 points and a game in hand. Los Rayados lost their undefeated record in their last game, coming off a disastrous 2-0 loss against one of the weakest teams in the competition, Puebla. The game demonstrated the competitiveness of the league and how any team can beat any other team in any given game.
On paper, Antonio Mohamed’s team that features players like Aviles Hurtado and Rogelio Funes Mori should win this game but it could also prove to be a tough game especially away from home.
