The Mexican Liga MX returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Pumas UNAM and Tigres UANL square off at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario on Sunday. Veljko Paunovic’s men have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the new league campaign and will look to keep the ball rolling this weekend.
Pumas UNAM were condemned to consecutive defeats for the first time since March as they were beaten 2-1 by Atlas at the Estadio Jalisco last Saturday.
This followed a humbling 4-0 loss at the hands of MLS side Seattle Sounders on August 13 which saw their Leagues Cup campaign come to an end in the round of 16.
Pumas have picked up 10 points from their opening five Liga MX games to sit eighth in the league standings, one point and three places behind Sunday’s visitors.
Elsewhere, Tigres returned to league action last Saturday when they fought back from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against Guadalajara at the Estadio Universitario.
Before that, Paunovic’s men enjoyed an impressive run to the Leagues Cup quarter-finals before falling to a 2-1 defeat against New York City FC on August 14.
With the result against Guadalajara, Tigres are one of just three sides yet to suffer defeat in Liga MX this season and will be looking to maintain their solid start to the campaign.
