New England have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Pumas UNAM form and stats
When playing at home in the Liga MX, Pumas UNAM have managed 2 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games.

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 UNAM have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won ten times, drawn two and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Liga MX game versus Necaxa in only three days. This game is also played here at Estadio Olímpico de Universitario.

New England form and stats
0 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. That’s the product of New England playing as the away team in the Major League Soccer this season.

We have checked recent matches where England have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eleven games were four victories, five draws and two defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the New England manager Arena as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Charlotte.
It's early days yet, but New England has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
