Only a win will satisfy the Pumas UNAM supporters in this Estadio Olímpico de Universitario clash with Tijuana, 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!
8-5-24 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Tijuana when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 37 matches are 36-75 (scored/conceded).
These teams have little in common geographically as Tijuana have to travel 2700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Pumas UNAM form and stats
Pumas UNAM have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Liga MX. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Pumas has four draws from their last four matches. Two draws in a row at home now for Pumas.
The home team returns to Estadio Olímpico de Universitario after being equal after 90 minutes with Tigres UANL (placed 9th) on their last time out; the Liga MX game ended 1-1. 0-0 away at Mazatlan before that.
The hometeam coach A. Lillini made a successful contribution in the game against Tigres UANL, bringing on Carlos González who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw. Juan Dinenno felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Tigres UANL as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 83rd minute.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Pumas handle that role? We have found ten games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are four wins, five draws and one defeat.
A decent goal production from Pumas in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. Pumas have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Tijuana form and stats
No Liga MX points yet away for Tijuana, from their first 2 matches. Tijuana has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Tijuana go into this game after a win, the home game against Puebla that ended 1-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against León wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
We have checked recent matches where Tijuana have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were three victories, one draw and five defeats.
Tijuana have the goal stats of 1-6 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
