The Pumas UNAM vs Tigres UANL match will be broadcast live online and on TV as the Mexico City team host the team from Nuevo Leon at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario this Sunday, October 21, 2018, at 2:30 PM Pacific.
Pumas UNAM is currently in fifth place with 22 points, but is one of the teams that could drop out of a playoff spot due to a tough schedule to round out the season. Los Universitarios are coming off a 2-1 away win against Chivas and are undefeated in their last six games in league play.
Pumas only has one loss at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario this season and will try to use its home-field advantage against a very talented Tigres side. David Patino has a talented core of his own led by Chilean striker Felipe Mora, who has six goals this season and has scored in each of Pumas’ last two games.
Tigres UANL is currently in eighth place with 18 points and really needs to get some points out of this match with the potential risk of dropping out of the top eight. Los Felinos are coming off a rough 3-2 loss against Club America at home, but are undefeated in their last three road games.
Andre-Pierre Gignac has scored three goals in Tigres’ last two games, now with nine goals on the season and is just a goal behind Julio Furch, the current top scorer in the Liga MX. Tigres does have one of the best squads in Mexican soccer, but the current makeshift defense with Jesus Duenas as a fullback and Jorge Torres Nilo is a concern.
Pumas vs Tigres Prediction
FutnSoccer predicts a thrilling 2-2 draw between both teams as both sides have menacing attacks, but shaky defenses that can make for a high-scoring clash in Mexico City.
