Goaloo Prediction

Analysis Pumas
The home team is currently in the 16th position of the league, with 8 points won, after 1 win, 5 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Atlético San Luis, by (3‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Santos Laguna, by (1‑5). This is a team that usually plays better at home, where they have won 6 points, against only 2 points in away matches. In the last 6 home league matches Pumas has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 18 possible.

They haven’t won any of the last 6 matches for this competition. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 9 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 9 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Pumas need to win the three points at any cost to recover in the competition and climb the table, so the Mexico City team needs technical imposition within the four lines, showing focus and commitment during the 90 minutes, in addition to guaranteeing an intense marking to hold the Tigres counterattack and not be leaked. Up front, the team can use the speed of its players to surprise the rival with overwhelming offensives, however, they know that they cannot waste the opportunities created, after all they should not be many.

Analysis Tigres
The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 19 points won, after 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Santos Laguna, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Monterrey, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 6 points in away matches and 12 points at their stadium, with 9 goals scored and 4 goals conceded at home, against 2 goals scored and 2 conceded in away matches. In the last 4 away league matches Tigres has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, so they have won 7 points out of 12 possible. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 29 of the last 46 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals.

Tigres fights for the leadership of the competition and needs to win away from home, so high concentration, delivery and good football are essential throughout the duel. The team from San Nicolás de los Garza is aware that the match will be very disputed, for this reason, it is essential to guarantee a tight marking in the half court and an attentive and dedicated defensive system to stop the opponent's escapes and not be leaked. Up front, the team can move forward with consistency and agility in the touch of the ball, in order to reach the opponent's area in a position to make the shot on goal.

The Pumas team wants to win and will try to impose itself on the field. Visitors will not be able to make defensive mistakes. This tends to be a truncated game
