Prediction
Leon 2, Pumas UNAM 1
Moneyline (ML)
LEON (-134) enters on a roll, tied for the league lead with six victories while currently sitting second in the overall Liga MX standings table. They have also won their first four league matches at Estadio Leon. On the flip side, Pumas UNAM (+290) is awfully tempting with an opportunity to nearly triple your money. However, they have managed just one point over the past nine available in the Clausura. Pumas have also won just once on the road in the current term.
If you just want to dip your toe in the betting waters, and play it safe, you can play the ‘Double Chance’ bet, with LEON OR TIE (-455), and the only way you lose your wager is if Pumas UNAM springs the upset.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 (-182) is a bit expensive, but we should see at least three goals in this match. In addition to the total, you can take Leon to WIN AND BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+200), which is a rather attractive play. There is also a bet you can make — YES (-182) on both teams to score — and it doesn’t matter which team wins.
