Atlas
Atlas’s recent form of WWLDL includes a 2-1 home win over Tigres UANL and a 2-0 away win at Cruz Azul, showing they can score but also a 1-3 home loss to Club Queretaro that exposed defensive lapses. The mixed results imply that while they can create chances, conceding three at home reduces confidence in a clean sheet, reinforcing the tilt toward a Pumas win.
U.N.A.M. - Pumas
Pumas’ DDLWL run features a 3-1 home victory over Leon and a 0-3 away loss to Guadalajara Chivas, highlighting both attacking potential and occasional vulnerability on the road. The recent win demonstrates they can net three goals, supporting the model’s higher win probability for the away side.

In the last five meetings, the teams have drawn three times (2-2, 0-0, 0-0) and each secured one win (Atlas 2-1 in 2024, Pumas 1-0 in 2025), indicating a tight rivalry but with the model still favoring Pumas this time.
