Pumas UNAM have played 4 Liga MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-0 (wins-draws-losses).
Pumas's last game was hosting Tijuana (placed 14th) and winning 3-0. Preceding that game was the away draw at Tigres UANL that finished 1-1.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Pumas have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won five times, drawn five and lost one.
The manager A. Lillini will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Santos Laguna in only four days.

Puebla goalie Jesús Rodríguez was high and low in the Toluca game, contributing eleven saves towards the victory.
Puebla 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, two draws and six defeats. From a total of twelve matches.
After this away game Puebla return home for a Liga MX game against America. That game is only three sleeps after this.
