Only a win will satisfy the Pumas UNAM supporters in this Estadio Olímpico de Universitario clash with Morelia, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Liga MX table.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Pumas UNAM enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Toluca's place. The match ended 3-2 with Pablo Barrera scoring. Before that, Pumas UNAM had a home game versus Atletico San Luis which ended with a victory 4-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Morelia's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Tijuana that finished 1-1. It was a Copa MX defeat before that one as the away game against Tijuana wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
Morelia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, five draws and four defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
The travelling fans enjoy Morelia's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. The Morelia manager P. Guede Barriero has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
