Pumas Analysis

The home team arrives at this phase of Liga MX (Clausura) after finishing the previous qualifying phase (Apertura) in 10th place with 21 points. This team is less affected by home advantage, exhibiting similar results at home and away, with 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses as visitors, scoring 20 goals and conceding 28, compared to 4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses at home, with 17 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the league, Pumas secured 9 points out of 24 possible, registering 2 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in their last 8 home matches. In home league games, the most frequent halftime score was 0-0 (6 out of 8 matches). The team hasn’t been very solid defensively, as they conceded goals in every one of their last 10 games, but their attack has scored regularly, finding the net in 9 of their last 10 league matches. At home, there is a trend towards low-scoring games, as 5 of their last 8 matches in the league ended with fewer than 2.5 goals. In 18 matches in the competition, they have never overcome the score in the 5 games in which they conceded the first goal.

Pumas begins the Clausura with the aim of performing better than they did in the Apertura. The team knows they need to correct mistakes and gain more consistency throughout the competition. Playing at home, they aim to leverage their home ground advantage for a strong start. They tend to adopt a more proactive approach, looking to control the match’s rhythm. Nonetheless, the matchup promises balance and requires constant attention. Avoiding defensive mistakes will be crucial to preventing complications during the game. A strong start can build confidence for the continuation of the tournament.

Querétaro Analysis

The visiting team arrives at this phase of Liga MX (Clausura) after finishing the previous qualifying phase (Apertura) in 12th place with 20 points. This team is affected by home advantage, performing stronger with their supporters, as they’ve recorded 4 wins, 1 draw, and 10 losses as visitors in their last 30 matches, scoring a total of 12 goals and conceding 28. At home, they secured 7 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses, scoring 19 and conceding 19. In their last 9 away league matches, Querétaro registered 2 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses, earning 7 points from a possible 27. The team has conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 games, indicating a lack of defensive solidity, yet their attack has been scoring regularly, netting goals in 7 of their last 10 league matches. They score first infrequently, having opened the scoring in only 4 of their last 17 games in Liga MX, of which they led at halftime in 3 and won all after 90 minutes. Out of 17 matches in this competition, they have only managed 2 comebacks in the 13 games where they conceded the first goal.

Querétaro also seeks a fresh start after an Apertura that fell short of expectations. The team enters the Clausura needing to accumulate points from the outset. Playing away, they will likely adopt a more cautious approach, prioritizing defensive organization. The team recognizes that they face a slightly favored opponent, raising the tactical demands. The match is expected to be tight and decided by details. Mistakes can be decisive for the final outcome. Securing points in the opener is viewed as a vital step for a more consistent campaign.
