Pumas UNAM will take on Santos Laguna in the Liga MX at the Olimpico Universitario Stadium on Sunday. The hosts are sixth in the standings whereas the visitors, after one win in their first six matches, are 16th.
Pumas UNAM have struggled to convert draws into three points recently. They have one win and three draws in their last four outings. They will be hoping to add another win to the bag and build momentum to climb up the standings. It should be fairly straightforward content given Pumas' recent form, as Santos Laguna have lost four out of their first six Liga MX games.
