Tight contest expected at Olimpico Universitario
Two sides with contrasting styles and similar starts to the season meet at the Olimpico Universitario on Sunday when Pumas UNAM welcome Gallos Blancos Queretaro.
Pumas are the favourites to edge the game, but the visitors will be up for it and can certainly get something from the game.
The hosts have the better recent record in this fixture with 2 wins from the last 5, Queretaro have one and the other two meetings have ended all square.
That last draw came in Liga MX 2025/2026, when the sides finished 1-1 in Mexico City, and Queretaro have gone three away games to Pumas since without a win.
Go for goals and an away goal
Pumas are the marginal favourites to win this fixture, but there are enough factors at play here to suggest that the better betting approach is to look for goals.
Esteban Solari has his new-look Pumas playing at a high tempo, in a 4-2-3-1 system which plays the ball vertically, keeps it in the forward third and counter-presses to try and win it back if it's lost.
Querétaro are a more compact unit, a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 structure which aims to stay compact, block the centre of the field and get in behind the opposition on the break.
Pumas are a little more positive, but the away side will put up a battle and it should be a close-run affair.
Pumas have won two and lost three of their last five matches, while Querétaro have won three and lost two in the same period, so there's not much to split these teams in the match odds.
Pumas are 4th in the Liga MX 2026/2027 table with six points from three games while the visitors are 7th on the same points.
Pumas’ home form is a red flag
Pumas' recent home record is a huge red flag for this game, however. They have won zero, drawn zero and lost one of their home Liga MX 2026/2027 games and have managed 0.00 goals per game scored and conceded 3.00.
Querétaro are having a much better time of it on the road, winning their only away game and averaging 2.00 goals per match scored and 1.00 per match conceded.
Robert Morales has been the creative force behind Pumas' attacking play so far this season, registering three assists in three Liga MX 2026/2027 matches, while Juninho is the top scorer with three in three.
Querétaro are carrying a goal threat of their own with Ali Avila scoring three times in as many matches and four of their last seven strikes going through him.
So, take Over 2.5 goals at 1.7 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.65 for Sunday's Liga MX 2026/2027 clash at Olimpico Universitario.
