Cruz Azul vs Pumas UNAM - Team news
Cruz Azul seemed to be living a revival after three straight wins, but their defeat against Mazatlán handed them a reality check, especially due to the fact that Mazatlán is still the worst team in the tournament. Now, the team led by Ricardo Ferretti will want to return to winning ways and climb up the standings. La Máquina are now involved in the playoff race, and getting all the points here would be key to their options of success.
On the other hand, Pumas has been really struggling to earn points, and that loss to Puebla last week really damaged the team's hopes. To make matters worse, sources close to the club have hinted that coach Rafael Puente has been given an ultimatum, and his job would be on the line if the blue and gold are unable to beat Cruz Azul. Pumas has lost four out of their last five, and patience is not one of the virtues shown by the team's hierarchy, and even if they are still in contention for a playoff spot, a loss here may put an end to Puente's term as Los Auriazules' boss.
Prior to this game, neither club has reported any injury absences, which means that both coaches will have their best players at their disposal for what could be a crucial tie.

Cruz Azul vs Pumas UNAM - Standings prior to this match
Pumas' early streak in the season still has them in eleventh place, good enough for the one-match playoffs established in Liga MX. A series of combinations and a win for the away team would see them rise to eighth, giving coach Puente some breathing room.
