The final Liga MX showdown on Sunday night will see Pachuca and Pumas UNAM square off, with both sides struggling to find their rhythm in the early stages of the campaign. Despite their inconsistencies, both teams have managed to hover around the Play-In spots, but this clash carries significant weight—three points could catapult them back into the top four.
For Pachuca, the pressure is on. They’re coming off back-to-back defeats and have now gone three straight matches without a win. To make matters worse, they've lost Andres Micolta for the remainder of the season after he sustained a serious knee injury in their recent outing against Cruz Azul. In a baffling decision, head coach Gustavo Almada forced him to push through the pain and play the entire first half.
On the other hand, Pumas UNAM have been riding a wave of momentum, securing two consecutive victories. However, those wins came against Mazatlán and Atlético San Luis, two of the league’s struggling sides. Additionally, Pumas are juggling their CONCACAF Champions Cup commitments, having played a midweek fixture against Cavalry. That could prompt them to adopt a more measured approach at the start of this contest.
