Betting Insights
- With both teams averaging 1.75 goals per match in their respective home and away games this season, the Over 2.5 goals bet at -125 appears to be a good option in this one, according to the latest Club America vs Pumas UNAM betting tips.
- Backed at odds-on to win this Clásico Nacional, America are the clear favorites with the oddsmakers, but the hosts will have to work for it against a Pumas side that is unbeaten in their last 5 (W2, D3).
Prediction
- Although Pumas UNAM have been a better away team than at home this year, America’s home record of 3 wins and 1 loss in 4 Liga MX games makes them my pick to edge a tough and competitive Clásico.
- Jardine’s side have the experience and quality to see this game out in what should be a cagey affair.
- The visitors will press and look to disrupt America, but I expect the favourites to have the patience to pass their way through the press and control the game.
