Pumas and Chivas will face each other in a key match for both of their seasons. Pumas are currently in third place and will need the win to try to qualify in the top four and guarantee a place in the Liguilla. Chivas meanwhile will have a hard time in getting to fourth place, but with a place in the Repechaje all but guaranteed, they will hope to climb as much as they kind as they face a game with numerous missing players including their coach.
Pumas’ season has been a total surprise. With a squad that wasn’t considered to be among the best, they had further turmoil when Coach Michel left days before the season started because of personal problems in Spain.
