The Leon vs Pumas UNAM game will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Esmeraldas host Los Capitalinos at the Nou Camp this Saturday, September 1, 2018, at 5:00 PM Pacific.
Leon has been a team on the rise recently with two consecutive wins, coming off victories against Club America at home and Toluca away from home. Mauro Boselli has been a key player in these last two games with three goals, having surpassed the 100n goal mark in the Liga MX.
The centre-back partnership of William Tesillo and Andres Mosquera has also looked rigid and the midfield duo of Luis Montes and Pedro Aquino has been one of the key components of the team. There is talent within this Leon squad and it is just a matter of staying consistent and developing a consistent playing style throughout the tournament.
Pumas UNAM is winless in its last four games and is coming off a very disappointing 2-2 draw against Club America at the Estadio Azteca. Las Aguilas were down to nine men in the encounter and Pumas still could not walk away with the three points from the clash. The attack and midfield for David Patino’s side are very enticing with players like Ignacio Malcorra, Felipe Mora and Carlos Gonzalez, but the defense has been a disaster.
Spanish centre-back Alejandro Arribas has suffered another injury and will now need to replaced by a youth player like Pablo Jaquez or Rodrigo Gonzalez. The backline for Pumas will now be very young and could be a huge problem for the Mexico City team moving forward in this competition.
Leon vs Pumas UNAM Prediction
The game should be one of the more exciting matchups this weekend and could potentially end with plenty of goals at the Nou Camp. FutnSoccer predicts a 2-2 draw between both teams in a clash that should be very hard-fought and entertaining in Leon.
