Cruz Azul
DDWWWD 📈
Cruz Azul go into this game following a 0-0 CONCACAF Champions League tied result vs Club América.
Their latest results show that huge efforts have been put in by the Cruz Azul defence. Cruz Azul have been miserly, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their past six matches standing at 2. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be continued into this match, though.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Cruz Azul:
- haven't been beaten in the league by Universidad Nacional in their previous 2 matches.
- are unbeaten in their last 17 home league matches. What a fantastic run.
Universidad Nacional
WWDLWD
In their last fixture, Universidad Nacional drew 1-1 in the CONCACAF Champions League match with Vancouver Whitecaps.
The only player to score from Universidad Nacional was Adalberto Carrasquilla (87'). Brian White (71') was the scorer for Vancouver Whitecaps.
Throughout their six latest matches, Efraín Juárez's Universidad Nacional have had reason to celebrate scoring a total of 9 times - yielding them a goals scored per game average of 1.5.
Coming into this clash, Universidad Nacional are unbeaten in their last 2 league matches away from home.
👥 Head to head
Inspecting their most recent head to head meetings dating back to 12/03/2023 shows that Cruz Azul have won 3 of them and Universidad Nacional 1, with the number of draws being 2.
A total of 14 goals were yielded between them during those clashes, with 8 for La Máquina Azul and 6 for Pumas. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.33.
The last league contest featuring these clubs was Liga MX (Apertura) match day 14 on 27/10/2024 when the final score was Universidad Nacional 0-2 Cruz Azul.
On that occasion, Universidad Nacional had 42% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target.
On the other side, Cruz Azul got 10 shots on goal with 4 on target. Ángel Sepúlveda (1') and Ignacio Rivero (12') scored.
The referee was César Ramos.
🔮 Prediction
For this match, we think that Cruz Azul certainly have the ability to score a couple of goals when they face Universidad Nacional, who may well find it hard finding the net themselves.
We’re therefore anticipating a pretty comfortable 2-0 margin for Cruz Azul by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
