Pumas UNAM and Chivas Guadalajaraare set to face each other in a highly-anticipated Liga MX clash on Saturday night, with both sides looking to secure a direct ticket to the Liguilla on the final day of the 2023 Apertura regular season.
Having finished outside playoff series spots in both Apertura and Clausura campaign last term, and with a squad that wasn’t considered to be among the best, Pumas’ season has been a total surprise.
Currently sitting in fifth position with 25 points, the Felines are coming off a 3-0 home win over Atlas, thanks to goals from Cesar Huerta, Juan Dinenno, and Gustavo del Prete. With momentum firmly on their side, the hosts already have a place in reclassification all but guaranteed, they will hope to force a top-four finish with a positive result this weekend.
That will be no easy task, though, as Chivas arrive on the back of a strong 2023 Apertura season of their own, with Sunday's visitors currently sat fourth in the Mexican top-flight with 27 points from 16 outings.
