Pachuca vs U.N.A.M. - Pumas Prediction
Pumas to spoil Pachuca's home party?
Preview
Right then, let's get down to business with this Liga MX clash! Pachuca hosting Pumas - two teams sitting pretty close in the table, but boy oh boy, their recent form tells a completely different story!
Pachuca are having a proper nightmare at home lately, my bru. Looking at their last 10 games, they've only managed 2 wins with a shocking 20% win rate. At home, it's even worse - they're scoring just 0.6 goals per game on their own patch! They've recently lost to Santos Laguna (1-0), got beaten by Guadalajara Chivas (0-1) at home, and also lost to Tigres UANL (1-2) at home. The only bright spots were draws against Toluca (2-2) and FC Juarez (2-2), but let's be honest, that's not exactly setting the world on fire, is it?
Now Pumas, on the other hand, are looking much sharper! They've got 4 wins from their last 10 games and are scoring for fun - 1.9 goals per game on average. They just smashed Cruz Azul 3-2, put 4 past Club Tijuana, and also hammered Mazatlán 4-1. Even away from home, they're averaging 1.71 goals per game, which is decent going.
Here's the interesting bit - Pumas have never actually won at Pachuca in 5 attempts (1 draw, 4 losses for Pumas). But form over history, I always say! Pumas are finding the net in 90% of their games, while Pachuca have kept only 1 clean sheet in their last 10 matches. Pumas haven't kept a single clean sheet in their last 10 either!
Both teams seem to have forgotten where their goalkeepers are standing, and with Pumas scoring freely and Pachuca struggling at home but still conceding, this looks like both teams will get on the scoresheet.
