Thank you for following the Atlas vs Pumas game, tonight both teams were looking for the three points, however, they were unable to beat the goalkeeper and they got a draw that is of little use to their aspirations.
The university team is, along with Tigres, one of the teams that have not allowed any goals from outside the box, although they have usually conceded inside the box.
The Rojinegros are one of the teams that concede the most goals in the first fifteen minutes, together with León, they have conceded a total of four goals at the beginning of the first half, something that did not happen in the two championship tournaments, as they stood out for being a very defensive team that conceded few goals.
Atlas has not been able to score against Pumas in the last two matches, one of them in the semifinals of the Apertura 2021 where Pumas won 1-0 and in the scoreless draw in the Clausura 2022, with both teams looking for three points, this bad streak will probably be broken.
Pumas has not been defeated by Atlas in the last eight Liga MX games, this only in the regular season without counting liguilla, the universitarios have achieved four wins and four draws facing the current Mexican soccer champion, since 2017 Atlas has not beaten Pumas.
In the regular season of the Liga MX, Atlas and Pumas have played to a goalless draw in the last three matches, and the duels seen in the Liguilla have had few goals, with the winner taking the victory by the minimum.

Juan Dinenno, center forward from Argentina, has become an idol of the University fans, thanks to his dedication and goals that he has given to the blue and gold team. In this tournament he has not had a great presence on the scoreboard, but Pumas needs to supply him with balls so that he can score and achieve more victories.
Camilo Vargas, 32-year-old Colombian goalkeeper, since his arrival to the red and black team has been in charge of preventing the team from losing points, the national team selection has strengthened the defensive part of the team, in the current tournament he has been key for the team not to have more defeats, without a doubt he is one of the best goalkeepers in Liga MX and in this closing of the season his appearances will have to be more precise to avoid the fall of his goal.
Pumas with Andres Lillini had stood out in previous tournaments for being a very competitive team without having renowned players in the team, even their reinforcements did not point as big stars, after the great performances of the university team, where they fought in the semifinals and even lost a final, for the opening tournament 2022 the team made a strong investment to bring better players, the 10 of Boca and the 10 of Estudiantes, were the first players to arrive, offensive profiles was what Lillini's team had brought, But the defensive part was still weakened with the departures of Mozo and Talavera. As the days went by, Dani Alves arrived, a player who had made a lot of noise to join the team, but as the days went by, the results started to be negative and the most pointed player was the Brazilian Alves, Lillini has not found the right performance and in a painful defeat against Chivas his position is in danger, despite having been ratified several weeks ago, now in a new matchday he will face the champion who is going through a similar moment, getting a win could change the team's attitude.
