Pumas UNAM team news

Pumas are exploring tactical flexibility to maintain defensive solidity while boosting attacking options. They have struggled offensively and defensively, underscored by a -5 goal difference.

Jos Juan Macas and Aaron Ramsey (recently departed) had shown moments of quality but lacked consistent firepower. The team will need focused defensive efforts and sharper finishing to capitalize on home advantage.

Tijuana team news

Tijuana favours a structured 4-4-2 formation to enable fluid defensive-to-offensive transitions, relying heavily on creativity from Frank Boya and pace from Kevin Castaeda on the wings.

Attacking threats Mourad El Ghezouani and Kevin Castaeda continue contributing crucial goals. Despite a recent defeat to Tigres, Tijuana retains a well-organized squad capable of counterattacks and tactical discipline.
