Morelia vs Pumas | Preview
The Pumas, undefeated and with the same number of points as the leader Monterrey, will visit Morelia, fourth in the standings, on Friday to kick off matchday 6 of the Clausura 2018 tournament of Mexican football.
With three victories, two draws, and 11 points, Pumas have had a great start to the season and come into the match full of excitement after defeating the champion Tigres 2-0 last Sunday.
This Friday, the team, third in the table, will have to play similarly to how they did against coach Ricardo Ferretti's 'felinos' because Morelia is in good form and will be dangerous as the home team.
Led by coach Roberto Hernández, who is celebrating one year in charge, Morelia has three wins, one draw, and one loss, and will go out to extend their perfect home record with an offensive proposal in which Peruvian scorer Raúl Ruidíaz will be the key.
