The Chivas de Guadalajara vs Pumas UNAM Copa MX round of 16 match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Rojiblancos host Los Felinos at the Estadio Akron this Wednesday, September 26, 2018, at 7:15 PM Pacific.
Chivas de Guadalajara finished first in Group 8 of the Copa MX with 10 points and as the fourth overall seed. Los Rojiblancos are on a good run of form undefeated in their last two games, this includes a very impressive 4-2 win against Monterrey away from home.
Los Tapatios are overachieving with Jose Cardozo as the manager and should be one of the stronger teams in this Copa MX knockout stage. The Paraguayan manager has used a mix of young players along with consistent starters in this cup competition and should present a strong lineup for this match.
Pumas UNAM has been thriving in the Liga MX, currently in fourth place with 18 points and could also be a very tough team to face if they can get past Chivas. The Mexico City team finished second in Group 4 of the Copa MX, just behind Necaxa and will be looking to improve in the round of 16.
David Patino has depth in the midfield and attack but does not have many options in the defense, which can be very troubling moving forward. Still, the attack is impressive with players like Matias Alustiza, Felipe Mora, Carlos Gonzalez and Juan Manuel Iturbe, which should trouble an inconsistent Chivas’ backline.
Chivas vs Pumas UNAM Prediction
The game should be one of the better matchups in this Copa MX round of 16 as both teams are among the top in the country and will be motivated to advance to the round of 16. FutnSoccer predicts a 3-2 win for Chivas in what should be a very intense and entertaining encounter at the Estadio Akron.
