0-2-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Pumas UNAM when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those eight matches are 5-18 (scored/conceded).

It's no vacation for neither Guadalajara nor Pumas UNAM as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
