On the other hand, Liliini's team will have a significant absence in defense, as a few hours ago, the university club informed that Arturo Ortiz will not be able to play tonight due to a muscular injury in his thigh.

For this match, the local team will be missing Rubens Sambueza, who is suffering from knee problems, and Unai Bilbao, who will not see action until next season after a ligament injury.

Everything is ready! The protagonists of this match have arrived at the Alfonso Lastras stadium. Both visitors and locals are already at the stadium for this match that will close Matchday 9.

In the history of these two teams, the balance favors the capital city team with 9 victories, while the Potosinos have 3 wins. They have only drawn twice and, in their most recent meeting, San Luis beat Pumas 2-0 at the Alfonso Lastras last April.

The Alfonso Lastras Stadium will be the venue for this match against Pumas. It is located in the capital city of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. It was inaugurated in May 1999 and is the home of Atlético de San Luis. It has a capacity for a little more than 25 thousand spectators. A good attendance is expected for this match.

All set! The double-header corresponding to matchday 9 of the Apertura 2022 comes to an end. Atlético de San Luis and Pumas will meet at the Alfonso Lastras Stadium, home of the Potosinos. Both clubs are desperate for the three points to climb up the standings as they are at the bottom of the general table. Will either of them be able to get the win? Follow our coverage on VAVEL USA.

Eduardo Salvio | This Argentinean player, who plays as a midfielder or winger, came to reinforce the universitarios after his time at Boca Juniors. Despite the lack of goals and wins, Toto Salvio is one of the most participative players up front with long or filtered shots, in addition to his great ability to recover balls.

 

Facundo Waller | He is a midfield player who has a university background and now plays with Atletico de San Luis and is one of the offensive engines of the Potosí club. He is an Uruguayan player who is a recovery and assist player that can be key to look for the win tonight. He has scored one goal (against Chivas) in this tournament.

On the other hand, Pumas, coached by Andrés Lillini, have the obligation to return to the country's capital with three points due to their win drought in the Apertura 2022. Like tonight's opponent, Pumas has only one win in the competition and that was in matchday 3 when they faced Necaxa thanks to a goal by Adrian Aldrete. Since then, the universitarios have been in a rut and have not been able to get out of it. Since then, UNAM has accumulated 3 draws and 2 defeats in a row, the most recent being in the Clásico Capitalino, where America beat them in the Estadio Olímpico Universitario with a resounding score of 0-3. They are currently in 13th place in the general table with 8 points with only 7 games played.

After firing Marcelo Mendez Russo, who was the coach of the Potosinos last season, Atlético San Luis opted for André Jardine, who, although they have not had bad numbers and play good soccer, they have lacked more victories and have not been able to make their home advantage count. Atletico de San Luis has accumulated three defeats in the Apertura 2022 (against León, Monterrey, Necaxa), a single victory against Chivas at the Akron, and 5 draws, the most recent one last week against Querétaro, where a last minute goal robbed them of their second victory of the tournament. They are currently in 14th place in the table with 8 points after nine games played.

 

 

Matchday 9 of the Apertura 2022 is played in the middle of the week and will end in the center of the country when this match is played between two teams that are desperate for three points. Tonight, Matchday 9 activity will end at the Alfonso Lastras stadium, which will host the match between Atlético de San Luis and Pumas. On one side is the local team, which has only accumulated one victory so far this season and today wants to take advantage of its home advantage and achieve its second win of the Apertura 2022 against a very reinforced Pumas team, which has not won since matchday 3. 

The Atletico San Luis - Pumas match will be played at the Stadium Alfonso Lastras, in San Luis, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:05 pm ET.
