Pumas (home)
- Pumas are unbeaten in 2 and have won 1 at home in Liga MX 2025/2026 (D3, L1). For those considering the Pumas UNAM vs CD Chivas de Guadalajara betting tips, this recent home form can be an important factor.
- Efraín Juárez has taken Pumas in a different direction since he took over in March 2025.
- His game has more tempo and his team reacts instantly when out of possession, applying high pressing in numbers and always trying to be vertical in possession.
- Keylor Navas, who joined in the summer, has been a real positive addition and brings real leadership to the dressing room and organisation to the defense.
- They have only won 1 of 5 at home in Liga MX 2025/2026, but that is due mainly to the opponents that they have faced at Olímpico Universitario and they are now unbeaten in 2 at home with a win and a draw.
Chivas (away)
- Chivas have the slight edge of 14 points to Pumas’ 13 from 11 matches.
- Chivas boss Gabriel Milito has implemented a very possession-based style in the few months he has been in charge since May 2025 and the players have responded well.
- Victor Guzman is the creative spark and the midfield maestro who controls the tempo and links all areas of the pitch for Chivas.
- They have won 3 of their last 5 and have come into this game on the back of consecutive wins over Necaxa (3-1) and Puebla (2-0), making the Pumas UNAM vs CD Chivas de Guadalajara betting tips all the more intriguing.
