Why bet on Pumas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was expected Pumas would fight for a playoff spot, and it was even possible they could miss out, but not even the most devoted fan anticipated that the team would be in fourth place at this stage of the tournament.

Seven wins, three draws, and three losses are the stats for the Felinos, who come into this game with a six-match unbeaten streak. They won four and drew two as visitors against Toluca and Monterrey, the two teams ranked above them, along with Cruz Azul.<\/strong>

With 18 goals scored, they have one of the lowest averages among the qualified teams, partly due to not having a standout striker this season, especially after losing key players like Juan Dinenno and Eduardo Salvio.<\/strong>Ignacio Pussetto hasn\u2019t been the reinforcement they hoped for.

The team\u2019s top scorer so far is midfielder C\u00e9sar Huerta with five goals and three assists.<\/strong> Huerta was suspended for the match against Monterrey (0-0) but will be available on Saturday, aiming to continue his streak, having scored three goals in his last two games.

At home,they’ve performed well, beating Le\u00f3n, Pachuca, Puebla, Tijuana, and San Luis, with their only home loss being to Tigres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why bet on Cruz Azul?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are no more adjectives left to describe Cruz Azul. Mart\u00edn Anselmi’s team is a machine. With 11 wins, one draw, and one loss, they’ve already secured a direct spot in the playoffs.<\/strong> Now they aim to finish at the top of the standings to ensure they close out all their series at home.

But that’s not the team’s only goal. They have 34 points with four matches remaining, meaning they have a good chance of breaking the points record since the tournament format changed to 18 teams. The current record is 41 points, achieved by themselves (2021) and Le\u00f3n (2019). Am\u00e9rica reached 43 points in 2002, but there were 20 clubs in the league back then. Even so, that amount is within reach.

They are on a five-game winning streak, with the latest being a 4-0 victory over Ju\u00e1rez, featuring a brace from \u00c1ngel Sep\u00falveda, who came on for Giorgos Giakoumakis. The Greek striker left the match due to injury and will be out for two weeks. Sep\u00falveda, Giakoumakis, and Carlos Rotondi are the team’s top scorers, each with six goals. <\/strong>

Speaking of goals, Gabriel Fern\u00e1ndez returned to action after eight months and marked his comeback with a goal. This is great news for Anselmi, who now faces healthy competition to decide his starters for the playoffs, especially with the fact that Cruz Azul is the highest-scoring team in the Liga MX <\/a>with 32 goals. Oh, and they\u2019ve also conceded the fewest (9). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Betting Analysis: Pumas vs. Cruz Azul <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The last time these two played was in last year\u2019s quarterfinals, where Cruz Azul won 2-0 away in the first leg and drew 2-2 in the second leg. In their last four encounters, the home team has not won. <\/strong>

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Cruz Azul as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 2.32, Pumas has 2.92, and the draw is at 3.42.<\/em>

Two teams are having an outstanding season. Cruz Azul has already achieved its first goal and now, before heading into the playoffs, will aim for the points record. Meanwhile, Pumas has shown strength at home and has performed well against teams above them in the standings, so we believe this will end in a draw. Go for a 1-1.<\/strong>

Go for a draw. If you bet $100 at 3.42, you will gain $242 for a total payout of $342. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
