The remaining 12 games have been stalemates.Īnother worrying factor will be that Pumas UNAM have failed to register a win over their next opponents in the last five meetings, losing the last four encounters. Pumas has won seven times in their 29 meetings, whereas Chivas has won ten. The numbers do not favor the home side regarding their head-to-head record with Guadalajara. Anything less than a win could leave the hosts vulnerable, and they could lose their quarterfinal qualifying spot. Pumas will come out all guns blazing on Saturday to secure the precious three points that will send them to the last eight. Guadalajara are placed fourth however, their quarterfinal berth is cemented regardless of the outcome of this match, as the only team that can leapfrog them on the table is their next opponent. The hosts have managed to turn around a poor start to the season, ending up in fifth place on the table with just one game left. Meanwhile, Pumas are through to the playoffs but are yet to secure a top-six finish.
Chivas will be slightly relaxed in this encounter as they have confirmed their place in the quarterfinals. The Apertura 2023 league stage has reached its penultimate stage, and there are quite a few high-stakes fixtures over the weekend. Pumas UNAM vs Chivas Guadalajara Predictions
