UNAM Pumas vs. Monterrey - Preview

Pumas UNAM and Monterrey meet tonight on Estadio Olimpico Universitario in a match of Apertura 2011 from Mexico both teams have looked great in their first two games, with each team winning a match at home and away. Pumas are the only team from Apertura  that has not conceded a single goal  in these two rounds and I think in this match with Monterray situation will be different because Monterrey is the team with the most goals so far this season, scoring eight goals in two matches. Even with the release of important players like Israel Castro, Leandro Augusto, and Jehu Chiapas in the offseason, Pumas has given the confidence to their youth, who have led the team to two wins in the first two games and for tonight M.Castro will miss for red card received in last game while mexican forward Juan Carlos Cacho, who missed the match against Morelia, is expected to miss three more weeks due to injury

Monterrey has also shown the league they might be strong contenders for this season’s title. The attack of Neri Cardozo, Humberto Suazo, and Cesar Delgado has been an excellent trio for Monterrey. For tonight, mexican international, Aldo De Nigris who missed the first two games of the season is not expected to make his return until week 5 against San Luis.

This game promises to be an entertaining match-up with Monterrey has looked strong in attack but they have showed some weakness on their backline and Pumas, on the other hand, has shown a very strong defense so I see a game with more then 2 goals and over 2,5 is good bet here.
