Pumas UNAM vs. Club América Betting Prediction

With Pumas UNAM vs. Club América set to face off in a fiery Clásico Capitalino playoff matchup, our attention turns to the betting markets to uncover the best opportunities for the safest route in our investment.

Pumas UNAM Preview

Efraín Juárez and his crew will feel a little demoralized after last weekend's showing, in which Pumas squandered a late two-goal lead. Going into the second leg, the Gold-and-Blues still maintain control of their own destiny, just needing another draw to punch their tickets towards the semifinals. 

Last Sunday, three different Pumas members were spotlighted on the scorers’ sheet, but Jordán Carrillo stood out the most. The on-loan product from Santos Laguna starred in 89 minutes of play, contributing two goals while finishing with an 81 percent passing rate, going 21-for-26. Journeymen winger Uriel Antuna is heating up at the right time, as he’s cataloged three goals and an assist in his last six.

Club América Preview

Despite André Jardine’s men finishing their first tilt in a six-goal draw, they have to feel like they walked out with a win, with a puncher's chance to knock off top-seeded Pumas. The 16-time Liga MX Champions will have to show grit and determination as they clawed  back to even terms in the final 15 minutes last Sunday. 

Playing in his 315th game in a Las Águilas kit on Sunday, Henry Martín is still showing there is gas in the tank as he finally inked his name on the scorers’ sheet in some time. Before Sunday, his last goal was almost a year ago for the modern-day club icon. If Martín is fully fit, he could be a difference-maker, as he’s been involved in some of the team’s most recent pivotal moments.

Pumas UNAM vs. Club América - My Pick

It’s still too early to anoint this edition's first-place finishers Pumas as league champions, but we feel they can achieve their goal by knocking out the Liga MX giants in the first step to success. These hated capital city adversaries like to not only come out on top, but also have the bragging rights all summer in Mexico City. It’s been a volatile year for Las Águilas, who have looked far from the team that three-peated not so long ago. They have shown moments of brilliance, but in other displays, they look like a team that finished mid-table, which they technically did.

Pumas are on a roll; it will be hard for them to get dethroned from their perch, especially with Club América at the back, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six. Head-to-head, the previous 22 Clásico Capitalino skirmishes at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario have only seen the visitors win 11 times, proving this is a tight derby but also that the away side isn’t overwhelming Pumas.
