Pumas UNAM form and stats

Pumas UNAM have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Liga MX, after 1-3-4 (8 played).

Pumas UNAM won their last game, 4-3 versus Cruz Azul played at home. What a finish in the last match, as Pumas UNAM came back from being down 1-3 and secured a very satisfying victory through Diogo's goal in the 84th minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against Cruz Azul was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Diogo came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Cruz Azul last time out, making the manager A. Lillini feel like a tactical genius. The attacker Diogo got a match rating of 9.0 in that game. Diogo scored two goals, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Santos Laguna.

The attacking power of Pumas when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Pumas have conceded 13 goals in their away games.
