Club Puebla vs Pumas UNAM Prediction

Expect a tight, low-event night at the Cuauhtemoc. Club Puebla have failed to score more than once in any of their last five matches, and that shot-shy form against a Pumas UNAM side carrying sixteen points from thirteen Apertura matches tips this toward the away end. Olavio Vieira dos Santos Junior and Robert Morales Benitez give Pumas the individual quality to force the single goal this game is likely to produce, while Puebla’s defense, already picked apart by Monterrey, won’t offer much going the other way. Pumas UNAM edge it: Club Puebla 0-1 Pumas UNAM.
