Pumas return to league action after having their worst defeat of the season and needing to get points immediately to right their flailing ship. They, however, will face a tough challenge in Tuxtla Gutierrez, a place that has never been kind to them before. Chiapas will be in even more need for the points as they are battling relegation.
While they only lost 3-2 in their last game , it was against America, their biggest rival, and at home. It was also a game that Pumas was favored for, as America was coming from the suspension of Pablo Aguilar and injuries to Paolo Goltz and Darwin Quintero.
