Unam Pumas vs Atletico San Luis Predictions & Tips

After finishing just short of a play-off place in the Apertura phase, UNAM Pumas have made a strong start to the Clausura and will fancy their chances of finishing inside in the top 8 places. After 4 matches in this phase, the hosts have won both of their home games and drawn their two away matches; leaving them 4th heading into this round of fixtures.

On paper, UNAM certainly have the ability to finish towards the top end of the table but they could really do with tightening up defensively. Indeed, whilst they are an exciting side for a neutral to watch, both teams have now scored in 8 of their last 10 games and said streak means they are having to work very hard for each point they collect.

Atletico are also unbeaten

Meanwhile, as a newly promoted outfit, there’s no such pressure on Atletico San Luis to reach the play-offs but the side will certainly be trying to upset the odds and break into them. Like their opponents on Sunday, their start to the Clausura has been a fairly strong one; yet to lose after 4 matches, albeit with only 1 win to their name.

Under no threat of relegation, San Luis can afford to play with freedom and they’re certainly doing that; bringing an attacking game plan into each and every fixture. Indeed, both teams have notched in their last 3 Liga MX outings and with 7 of their last 8 away league games having seen the same, Sunday’s match is not one that should be short of action.

An open game is expected

Ultimately, Sunday’s game looks a very exciting one and should be one packed full of attacking action. It’s simply not in either sides’ nature to sit back and look to soak up pressure and both will be looking to play on the front foot from the off.

All things considered, backing the Both Teams to Score line simply has to be the way to play as far as the betting is concerned in this one and is something we’re happy to do with maximum confidence. There’s rarely a 0 in the full time scoreline when either of these two are involved and that’s a theme we fancy to continue in a 2-1 home win. San Luis will be competitive but having won 4 of their last 5 home games, UNAM have to be fancied to edge it.
