Monterrey will take on Pumas UNAM in the Liga MX at the BBVA Stadium on Sunday.
Monterrey are leading the league standings after nine rounds. They are unbeaten and have 19 points, tied alongside Cruz Azul and Pachuca. They were held by Tijuana in their most recent outing but the team should be confident of a win when Pumas UNAM come visiting.
Pumas UNAM are heading into the game on the back of a defeat at the hands of Guadalajara but will be hoping to pull off a shock result away from home against an in-form team.
