Querétaro Pumas UNAM betting prediction

The home team comes to this 2^nd round after having lost (0‑1) in the 1st round, in a match against América. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses at their stadium. In the last 9 home league matches Querétaro has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 27 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑1 (4 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 4 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. They haven't been able to score the first goal. In fact, they have only opened up the score in 4 of the last 18 matches for the Liga MX, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 3 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. They have conceded the first goal in 12 of their 18 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Querétaro began the Clausura with a defeat to América, even though they were playing at home, which brought a certain amount of pressure early on in the tournament. Now, once again in front of their home fans, they need to show more quality soccer to avoid another setback. The team will have to stay organized defensively and take advantage of chances in attack, knowing that they face a strong opponent. Victory is crucial to regaining confidence and preventing the pressure from mounting further in the coming rounds.

Confirmed Lineup: Guillermo Allison, Omar Mendoza, Jesús Fernando Piñuelas Sandoval, Joseph Canale, Francisco Venegas, Eduardo Armenta Palma, Federico Lertora, Josué Colmán, Adonis Preciado, Pablo Barrera, Brian Rubio.
