Cruz Azul v Pumas UNAM : Liga MX match betting preview, prediction and odds

Fri 22nd May, 03:00 BST, Estadio Azteca, Mexico City

The Liga MX is the focus for both Cruz Azul and Pumas UNAM on Friday morning, as bosses Nicolás Ricardo Larcamón and Efraín Juárez Váldez battle it out at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc. This preview has odds for 17 different markets, alongside supporting data that changes as you go through them. Our predictions run off the last 20 matches, so all stats are shown for each side's last 20 too. Home vs away and overall records can be viewed, while you'll also find head-to-head history a little further down the page.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest we don't have an obvious winner for this clash, but good reason to think Cruz Azul and Pumas UNAM will score 2 or more goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Nicolás Ricardo Larcamón or Efraín Juárez Váldez has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s recently either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.20 equating to about a 77% probability.
