Pumas UNAM vs. Toluca Prediction: Both Sides Seek To Secure a Maximum Result

Wednesday evening Pumas UNAM will host Toluca at Estadio Olímpico Universitario in a match that has both clubs winless in their previous two outings. The most recent clash between these two adversaries took place in the 2024 Apertura campaign, which saw both teams split the points in a 1-1 draw back in October. Head-to-head this meeting has been closely contested as Pumas possess the slight edge winning on 13 occasions versus Toluca’s 12. Since July 2010, both clubs have remained level after 90 minutes in eight instances. 

Gustavo Lema’s troops played on Sunday to a scoreless draw against Atlas. The Gold and Blues currently sit eighth overall in the table, securing four points through the opening three games of the 2025 Clausura tournament. 

Meanwhile, Antonio Mohamed’s men suffered a 2-1 setback on the road against Mazatlan on Friday. The Red Devils share an identical record as Pumas through round three. Early into the campaign, Toluca is tied for second overall in goals scored with six.

Pumas UNAM vs. Toluca - My Pick

• Pumas UNAM vs. Toluca pick: Both teams to score yes (-163) at bet365

This midweek encounter should result in both sides hitting the back of the net with the form both sides are in and history on our side. In the last seven matches at Estadio Olimpico Universitario when these two adversaries connected, both teams got onto the score sheet in five meetings. Despite getting blanked on Sunday, we feel Pumas should get back onto the scoreboard as this roster is too talented to get shutout twice in a row at home. Toluca on the other hand can score at any moment and also have a hard time keeping the ball out of their own net as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in the newly opened Clausura season. This is a night game which benefits both sides not having to play in the sweltering daytime heat.
