According to Soccer Punter, the last five matches between San Luis and Pumas saw a 3-2 split in favor of San Luis. Note that Pumas did win the last two, both taking place in Liga MX play last year. This upcoming Clausura match will be held at Alfonso Lastras Ramirez stadium, San Luis de Potosi city, Mexico.

Who is expected to win? Bet 365 expects Pumas (+155) to win. They further see a San Luis win (+180) as more likely than a draw (+230).

Both teams enter the match at 1-0 having won each of their first square-offs. San Luis did that by taking out Mazatlán 1-0. Also last week, Pumas survived a late red and prevailed against Juárez.

Oddsopedia has the Pumas lineup set to be a 4-2-3-1 and San Luis to be 4-3-3. Will Pumas take advantage of having more midfielders or will it stand to be advantageous for San Luis to have three forwards? Sanchez and Gonzalez will be in goal.
