Tijuana vs Pumas Preview
Pumas UNAM last played on December 13, when it lost to León, 2-0. Pumas has two losses, two draws and just one win in its last five matches, and the team is ready to right the ship, beginning with Tijuana.
“We are not beaten, we don’t know what that is,” Pumas’ 20-year-old midfielder Erik Lira said after the team’s most recent games, as translated by ESPN. “We are focused on winning and that’s what we’ll do, we want to erase the [losing] image and we want to do it for the people on the outside, for our families and loved ones.”
Still, UNAM manager Andres Lillini is proud of his team’s effort, as it went on a solid run for most of the season. “I am proud because the players gave everything until the last minute and they believed in themselves. We’ve set the bar very high. These players led the club to a final and now we are going to have to maintain that level,” Lillini said.
Tijuana, on the other hand, has been in a seemingly endless rut, with just one win, five losses and three draws in its last nine matches. The Club last won on September 30, but they have some intriguing young players to work with, including striker Mauro Manotas, who came over late last year after being sold to Tijuana from the Houston Dynamo.
“Mauro came to the Dynamo as a teenager and leaves having scored over sixty goals for the club. He’s been a key contributor in important moments and helped lead the Club to a championship during his time in Houston. It’s been rewarding to see him develop and grow over the years,” Dynamo general manager Matt Jordan said in a club statement, adding: “Mauro will go down as one of the best players in the history of our club and we wish him and his family well with this next step with Club Tijuana.”
This will be the second game of the new Liga MX season, so both teams will have an opportunity to get a fresh start. On the injury front, Víctor Andrés Guzmán is doubtful for Tijuana, while Johan Vásquez is doubtful for Pumas, and Marco Antonio García Robledo is slated for a mid-January return.
