Leon vs Unam Pumas Predictions

• Leon have won their last 5 home matches.
• Leon have scored an average of 2.6 goals a game over said fixtures.
• UNAM Pumas have won just 1 of their last 10 away games, losing 4 times in the process.

Leon looking for another home win

It’s fair to say Leon didn’t come into the Liga MX season with any particularly high expectations but their performances during it so far have been highly impressive. Indeed, the side finished 2nd in the opening phase before losing at the quarter final stage of the play-offs and are once again looking a force in this closing stage.

Currently 2nd with 18 points from 9 matches, Leon are well on course to finish in the top 8 and hopes are high of going further in the play-offs once they make them. Picking up a win on Sunday to keep their momentum going is of real importance and with 5 straight home victories behind them, Leon can be confident in doing exactly that.

Pumas looking to secure a result

Meanwhile, holding play-off aspirations, UNAM Pumas underwhelmed in the opening phase of action; finish short of the top 8 in 13th place. Things are going better in this closing phase, currently stationed in 4th but having collected just 1 point from their last 3 matches, the side desperately need a return to form.

Indeed, after a promising start to the year, Pumas’ really haven’t impressed in recent weeks and the downturn in performance is a real concern. They’ve conceded 8 goals over said games and that’s a big worry considering how potent Leon are; leaving the visitors’ prospects of improving a run that reads just 1 win in 10 away games looking bleak.

Leon have to be fancied

Ultimately, there can only be one side considered favourites in Sunday’s game and that’s Leon. They have plenty of momentum behind them, are in rampant form as hosts and face a UNAM Pumas outfit that is starting to look out of form and is running out of gas at just the wrong time.

All things considered, backing a home win looks by far the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we’re more than happy to do. Leon have scored an average of 2.6 goals a game over their last 5 matches and we fancy them to flex their attacking muscles once again this weekend via a 3-1 margin of victory.
