Pumas UNAM host Cruz Azul in Liga MX, with the home side sitting 13th on 12 points from 10 matches, while the visitors are 7th with 16 points from the same number of games. Both still need points to climb the table, so this looks like a game where both sides will trade blows rather than sit back and wait. Pumas UNAM lost 2-3 in their latest match and are without a win in 3 straight. Their defence is a clear problem when you look at the average of 1.6 goals conceded per game in the league. Cruz Azul, meanwhile, are also without a win in 4 straight, but they score more consistently, especially with their finishing late in games, which accounts for the highest share of their goals among all time periods. If Pumas UNAM score first, lifted by the home atmosphere, the game should open up even more and force Cruz Azul to push high, which would give the hosts space to counter. But if the visitors take the lead first, the game turns into a chase for the home side, who would have to take more risks.
