On March 31, 2025, the 13th round of the Mexican Liga MX will feature a match at Leon Stadium where Club Leon will face UNAM Pumas. I suggest betting on goals in this encounter.
Club Leon
Leon is having an excellent season, maintaining a top position in the league standings for a long time. However, two consecutive losses in recent rounds have allowed their pursuers to overtake them. These setbacks are likely linked to psychological factors — it was recently revealed that Leon was disqualified from the FIFA Club World Cup, which could have negatively impacted the team's overall morale.
It's important to note that both defeats occurred away from home. At home this season, Leon remains unbeaten. A victory over Pumas will help Leon reclaim second place and narrow the gap with America to just one point.
UNAM Pumas
Pumas sits in 12th place in the standings, just two points away from the play-in zone. In addition to their league campaign, the team continues to compete in the CONCACAF Champions League, having already reached the quarter-finals where they will soon face MLS side Vancouver.
Recently, Pumas' results have been disappointing. The team is in a prolonged slump, losing five of their last six league matches and securing only one victory during this stretch.
Probable lineups
- Club Leon: Jimenez, Reyes, Bellon, Barreiro, Santos, Fonseca, Guardado, Mendoza, James, Echeverria, Cadiz
- UNAM Pumas: Padilla, Benevendo, Magallan, Azuaje, Duarte, Suarez, Carrasquilla, Caicedo, Ruvalcaba, Funes Mori, Pussetto
Match facts and H2H
- Pumas has consistently conceded in each of their away league matches, highlighting their vulnerability in defense away from home.
- Leon's last three matches have been high-scoring, with the over 2.5 goals bet hitting in all instances.
- In head-to-head encounters, Leon has struggled significantly. In the last seven matches against Pumas, the team has failed to secure a single victory, drawing twice and losing five times.
- Matches between these teams at Leon's ground are traditionally open affairs. In the last three head-to-head matches here, the "both teams to score" bet has consistently won.
Prediction
Pumas needs to earn points to keep their hopes alive, while Leon needs to at least break their losing streak and regain confidence. I expect a high-scoring match and suggest a bet on "both teams to score" with odds of 1.76.
