Atlante FC vs Pumas UNAM: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Atlante FC vs Pumas UNAM predicted formations

Atlante FC host Pumas UNAM at Estadio Azteca on Friday, October 16 (11:00 PM ET / 10:00 PM CT / 8:00 PM PT).

No fresh absences have been flagged for either side ahead of this one, with both teams expected to field close to full-strength XIs. Atlante FC will lean on Jhojan Esmaider Julio Palacios, who has 2 goals and 4 assists in 964 minutes, alongside midfielders Luis Angel Calzadilla Santillan and Eugenio Pizzuto Puga. Pumas UNAM’s threat continues to run through Olavio Vieira dos Santos Junior, the division’s standout with 6 goals in 731 minutes, well-supported by Robert Osmar Morales Benitez’s 3 goals and 3 assists.

Atlante FC’s return to Estadio Azteca brings a raucous backdrop for a side that beat Monterrey 4-2 only to follow it with defeats to Pachuca and Queretaro FC, while Pumas UNAM arrive off a 2-3 home loss to Atletico San Luis having managed just 13 points from 11 games this season. Both teams have shown they can open games up as easily as they can be opened up themselves, and with Atlante able to call on Julio Palacios and Pumas still reliant on Olavio Vieira dos Santos Junior’s six goals, this one should be shared out before Atlante FC edge it 2-1.

    Atlante FC vs Pumas UNAM Prediction

    Our Signal model makes Atlante FC 2-1 winners at Estadio Azteca. Pumas UNAM’s 13 points from 11 games and -2 goal difference make them vulnerable on the road, and with Jhojan Esmaider Julio Palacios in the kind of form that has brought 2 goals and 4 assists, Atlante FC should have enough to get over the line in front of a big Mexico City crowd.
