📋 Team News: Universidad Nacional

The Universidad Nacional boss Andres Lillini has no fitness concerns to speak of coming into this clash with a completely healthy group available to choose from.

In all likelihood, Pumas could use a 3-5-2 system this time, beginning the first half with Alfredo Talavera, A. Ortiz Martínez, Nicolas Freire, Jero Rodríguez, Alan Mozo, Higor Meritao, Favio Álvarez, Leonel Lopez, Efrain Velarde, D. de Oliveira and Rogério.

📋 Team News: Toluca

Out of a mainly full-strength group, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Toluca gaffer Ignacio Ambriz to be concerned about. Miguel Barbieri (Torn Ligament) won’t be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Los Diablos Rojos seem likely to elect for a 4-4-2 lineup, giving starts to Luis García, Raúl López, Óscar Vanegas, Óscar Ortega, Diego Rigonato, D. Álvarez López, Claudio Baeza, Jordan Sierra, Alexis Pedro Canelo, Ian Gonzalez and Camilo.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that Toluca will likely create enough chances to find the back of the net against this Universidad Nacional team, but it may not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Universidad Nacional at the end of the 90 minutes. Let’s just see how this one goes.
