The Pumas UNAM vs Dorados de Sinaloa Copa MX quarterfinal match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Capitalinos host El Gran Pez at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario this Tuesday, March 12, at 6:00 PM Pacific.
Pumas UNAM defeated Ascenso MX team Zacatepec 3-0 in the round of 16 to get to this quarterfinal matchup. However, Los Felinos are on a three-game winless streak in league play and the Copa MX seems like the only competition still in reach for Bruno Marioni.
The Argentine manager has been using a lot of his key players in the Copa MX and it would not be surprising to see players like Martin Rodriguez, Felipe Mora and Juan Manuel Iturbe in this match. Pumas has plenty of talent going forward and a good enough backline to handle a team like Dorados de Sinaloa.
Diego Maradona’s team has been struggling in Mexico’s second-tier league, currently in 12th place with 11 points. However, Dorados finished first in Group 3 of the Copa MX with seven points and managed to defeat Atlas on penalties in the round of 16 in the tournament.
The team from Culiacan has several former Liga MX players on its roster like Fernando Arce Jr., Julio Nava and Jose Alberto Garcia. Dorados are definitely the underdogs in this matchup away from home, but Maradona’s team may be able to take advantage of Pumas’ uninspiring recent form.
Pumas vs Dorados Prediction
FutnSoccer predicts a slim 2-1 win for Pumas UNAM as the home-field advantage should be enough for Pumas to get past the second division side.
