Pumas UNAM vs Vancouver Whitecaps Preview and Team News
Pumas UNAM Team News
Pumas UNAM, one of the leading clubs from Mexico, will host Vancouver Whitecaps in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal on Wednesday.
The first leg of this encounter ended all square at 1-1, and the two teams have everything to play for in this one.
The visiting side might be at a disadvantage since they will be playing in conditions they know nothing about, and Pumas will be keen on making them run for long periods of time without the ball.
The home team do not have any major injuries in their squad for this game – only Mitchell Rodriguez is a doubtful starter due to an ankle injury.
Currently, Pumas have been unbeaten in four out of their last five matches, of which they won two. Currently, they have scored eight goals in their last five matches.
This means that their forward line is ticking well even though they have not scored more than one goal apiece in their last outing. What will be depressing for their supporters is the fact that Pumas have not kept even a single clean sheet in their last five matches.
Pumas UNAM predicted lineup vs Vancouver Whitecaps (4-4-2): Padilla; Bennevendo, Magallan, Silva, Duarte; Suarez, Carrasquilla, Caicedo, Ruvalcaba; Mori, Ignacio Pussetto.
Vancouver Whitecaps Team News
Vancouver Whitecaps, who have been unbeaten in four out of their last five matches, know that they will have to step up to the plate in order to qualify for the semifinal stage of this competition.
They have been known to use their wings to good effect and mark their opponents tightly whenever they lose the ball, but Pumas can be slippery to mark.
Vancouver will also need to be aware of the shape-shifting and formation-shifting tactics that their opponents use, and come highly prepared for any outcome.

Bjørn Inge Utvik, who is suffering from a hip injury, is expected to come back in late April, and will not be available for selection in this game.
Similarly, Ryan Gauld and Sam Adekugbe, who are suffering from a knee and hip injury respectively, will not be able to make it in time for this match against Pumas.
However, Vancouver have enough bench strength and the reserve players will be waiting for an opportunity to come their way and make the most of it.
Vancouver Whitecaps predicted lineup vs Pumas UNAM (4-3-3): Takaoka; Laborda, Veselinovic, Blackmon, Ocampo; Berhalter, Cubas, Ngando; Vite, White, Ahmed.
Pumas UNAM vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
- Pick: Pumas UNAM to win or draw
- Odds: -385 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Pumas UNAM 1-1 Vancouver Whitecaps
Neither Pumas UNAM nor Vancouver Whitecaps have an outright advantage in this game. However, the home team may feel themselves to be well fortified to mount a challenge against their opponents, and we expect them to either win or draw this match.
There have been just two recorded contests between these teams in the past, and Pumas have won or drawn both (1 win and 1 draw.) Vancouver have never beaten Pumas in the past, and this record does not look possible of changing this time around.
Pumas UNAM vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -136 (20Bet)
Both these teams boast of brilliant attacking units, which leads us to make the pick that they will get on the scoresheet (BTTS).
The same thing happened when these two clashed in the first leg of this quarterfinal encounter, and we expect to see the same this time around too.
Pumas have got on the scoresheet in both encounters played between these sides, and will have an upper hand in the final third time around too.
The fact that they have even done so away from home in the past will give them a lot of motivation and drive to do it this time at home.
Vancouver are also no minnows in the final third and can be trusted to make the most of all the opportunities they get in the final third.
