Universidad Nacional

WWWDDL

Universidad Nacional will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 1-0 Primera (Clausura) Liguilla loss in their previous game against Pachuca.

In that game, Universidad Nacional managed 51% possession and 5 attempts on goal with 1 on target. At the other end, Pachuca had 16 shots at goal with 4 on target. Oussama Idrissi (37') scored for Pachuca.

Fixtures with Universidad Nacional have proved to be lively ones lately with plenty of scoring the rule rather than the exception. Over their past six games alone, a total of 23 goals have gone in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.83 goals per game) with 14 of these accredited to Universidad Nacional.

Pachuca

WLLWWW 📈

Esteban Solari's Pachuca have seen their goal attempts be successful 8 times in the course of their previous 6 matches. The number of goals that have been scored against them during those same matches comes to 6.

↔️ Head to head

Inspecting their most recent head-to-head clashes going back to 21/07/2024 shows that Universidad Nacional have won 2 of them & Pachuca 4, with the tally of drawn results being 0.

An aggregate of 17 goals were produced between them in this period, with 8 of them from Pumas and 9 belonging to Los Tuzos. That is an average goals per game value of 2.83.

ℹ️ Team News: Universidad Nacional

It seems likely that Pumas could employ a 4-4-2 formation for the game featuring Keylor Navas, Rodrigo Lopez, Nathan Silva, Ruben Duarte, Alvaro Angulo, Uriel Antuna, A. Carrasquilla, Pedro Vite, Jordan Carrillo, Robert Morales and Juninho.

📰 Team News: Pachuca

Out of a mainly full-strength group, there’s just the sole fitness issue for the Pachuca manager Esteban Solari to be concerned about. Alan Mozo (Fracture of fibula shaft) won’t be playing here.

We are inclined to think that Los Tuzos will likely begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Carlos Moreno, Carlos Sánchez, Sergio Barreto, Jorge Berlanga, Brian García, Christian Rivera, Elías Montiel, Kenedy, Víctor Guzmán, Oussama Idrissi and Salomon Rondon.

💡 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Pachuca have the ability to put one past this Universidad Nacional side, although it realistically won’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We can see a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Universidad Nacional at the end of this one. Let’s see what eventuates.
