Struggling Pumas UNAM will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Tijuana in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
This stadium uses grass, unlike Tijuana's home stadium. The visitors last twelve games on grass have ended in 2 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses. Tijuana have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
