The Mexican Liga MX returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Pumas UNAM and Club America go head-to-head at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario on Saturday.
Gustavo Lema’s men head into the weekend as one of just three sides unbeaten at home this season and will look to extend this impressive run.
Pumas UNAM picked up consecutive wins for the first time this season as they edged out 10-man Club Leon 1-0 last Sunday.
This followed an emphatic 4-0 victory over Mazatlan at the Estadio de Mazatlan on April 6 which saw their five-match winless run come to an end.
With 23 points from 15 matches, Pumas are currently ninth in the Liga MX table, level on points with 10th-placed Queretaro.
Elsewhere, Club America turned in another five-star performance as they cruised to a 5-1 victory over Toluca at the Estadio Azteca last Saturday.
André Jardine’s men have now gone unbeaten in five consecutive games, a run which has seen them reach the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Champions League courtesy of a 9-2 aggregate victory over MLS side New England Revolution.
With 32 points from 15 matches, Club America currently lead the way at the top of the league table, albeit above second-placed Toluca on goal difference.
