It is worth mentioning that in midweek the Pumas presented their new uniform, which will be the third uniform and will be in red, to be used for the athletics track that is located in the Olympic University Stadium.
Although there is no relegation, there will be an economic fine where Xolos de Tijuana is in 17th place with only 91 points in 89 games, 4 points behind Juarez and 12 points behind Necaxa, which would exempt them from paying the fine.
After two wins and a loss, the felines will try to get back to winning ways with the mission of proving that their good start was not a fluke, but a product of offensive and defensive work.
Saturday's matchday closes on the border with the clash between Xolos de Tijuana and Pumas de la UNAM, in one of the most attractive games of the day. We begin with VAVEL's coverage.

Do not miss a detail of the match with the live updates and commentaries of VAVEL. Follow along with us all the details, commentaries, analysis and lineups for this Tijuana vs Pumas UNAM match for the Liga MX Clausura 2022.
The universitarios have taken the measure of the Xolos with three wins in the last five games, in addition to a draw and a setback. Their last visit to Estadio Caliente was a year ago when the guests of honor failed to open the scoring.
Due to suspension and injury, Juan Dinenno missed the first few minutes, but 15 days ago he already had some minutes in the defeat against Tigres. With the rest due to the FIFA Date, it is expected that the Azul Azul striker has improved in the mood and could start this match.

Argentine Lucas Rodríguez arrived last season as one of the solutions to remedy the lack of goals, but so far he has only scored four goals in his time in Liga MX and his performance has still fallen short with the border team.

After a great start to the championship with two wins in a row against Toluca and Querétaro, Pumas UNAM's luck failed to hold up on the last matchday when they lost 2-1 to Tigres on a Gignac penalty kick in stoppage time. Managing the match and not backing down in the event of gaining the advantage will be key to obtaining a good result at the border.
Although there has been some improvement in Xolos de Tijuana under Sebastián Ariel Méndez, results have not been forthcoming and, in fact, last week they played their pending match against La Franja del Puebla where they were winning, but ended up losing 3-1; they have just one point out of a possible nine.
