Stylistic clash in Mexico City
Tactical battle:
This weekend's Liga MX 2026/2027 clash between Pumas UNAM and Gallos Blancos Querétaro promises to be a classic clash of styles with Pumas UNAM keen to swarm, play through the lines and counter-press while Querétaro will sit in a compact 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 block and look to nick it in transition.
Form and key players:
Esteban Solari's new-look Pumas side have looked a little disjointed in the early stages of Liga MX 2026/2027, with their 0-3 defeat to Toluca at the Olimpico Universitario a red flag.
Pumas have won two and lost three of their last five in all competitions, including back-to-back defeats against Charlotte and FC Cincinnati in the CONCACAF Leagues Cup 2026/2027.
But Robert Morales has been a spark for his side in the final third with three assists in three games and Juninho is their main finisher with three goals in three. Querétaro will have a hard time keeping them quiet as the home side will rush forward to pressure the visitors when they have the ball.
Querétaro have a bite on the road
Away threat and form:
Esteban González's men have started the season with mixed form, winning three and losing two of their last five.
They won a gritty 3-2 Liga MX 2026/2027 game against Club Tigres de la UANL before losing out to FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup, but they are a compact and dangerous team.
Key players & odds:
The home team have the H2H edge with two wins in the last five, one win and two draws for Querétaro, but the visitors will be confident of taking something after their win away and the fact that Pumas have lost their only game at home so far.
The draw looks good value as Pumas are yet to impress in their own stadium and Querétaro have been solid on their travels, averaging two goals scored and one conceded per away match.
But our main selection will be in the goals markets and the Over 2.5 goals at 1.7 and Both Teams to Score – Yes at 1.65 will be our selections for this Liga MX 2026/2027 encounter.
- Ali Avila has been their hot hand with three goals in Liga MX 2026/2027, driving forward with the same energy as a young Carlos Vela and netting four of his team's last seven.
- This game is close to a toss-up with Pumas at 1.81, Querétaro at 3.95 and the draw at 3.8.
