Pumas UNAM Veracruz betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Pumas made a good campaign at the Apertura and hopes to keep up the same pace in the Clausura, so the home team's goal is to conquer the three points, which will be of great importance and can give some confidence for the rest of the competition. Veracruz will have a tough task ahead of them and will have to overcome the opponent in the field if they want to conquer at least one point, which will be very celebrated. The hosts are the clear favorites for this game and should give it all and we believe that they can confirm their favoritism until the end of the 90 minutes.

Preview

At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history indicates total balance between these two teams, since there is a record of 2 wins for each team in the last 4 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium was on 15‑02‑2018, in a match for the Liga MX, Veracruz won by (1‑2). The goals of the match were scored by D.

Analysis Pumas

The home team plays a match for the Liga MX (Clausura) after having finished 3rd in the previous stage (Apertura), in which they have conquered 30 points. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 30 goals scored and 27 conceded. For the league, Pumas won 14 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑1 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times, but have turned the score around in 3.

Sure enough to have reached the semifinals of Apertura was very good, but to have said goodbye to the competition with a heavy defeat was something quite bitter, so much that now Pumas hopes to have a satisfactory performance to be able to fight for the title of the Clausura. The team soon wants a win and knows that it has full conditions to make it happen, further playing with the support of its fans. Therefore, expects to have ball possession during the ninety minutes, as this reduces the risk of being surprised and increases the probability of approaching the three points. The coach should take to the field the best players that are available.

Analysis Veracruz

The away team comes to this round of the Liga MX (Clausura) after having ended the last qualifying stage (Apertura) in the 18th position, with 10 points won. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 37 conceded; against 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 28 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches Veracruz has a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 6 losses, so they have won 4 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 6 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 8 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 17 matches for the Liga MX, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

The terrible campaign made in the Apertura has negatively impacted Veracruz's record in the Mexican championship, so the team wants to do the opposite, even though knowing how difficult it will be. Today it needs to show a great technical and tactical evolution, individually and collectively, because only then will it have any chance to make a positive campaign. In this round will be difficult to win, but will not give up a good result, but is aware that even a draw is already good. The coach should take to the field the best players that are available.
