Guadalajara vs Pumas UNAM – Where to Watch, Stream Info, TV Channel, and Live Updates (September 13, 2026)

Guadalajara hosts Pumas UNAM at Estadio Akron carrying the kind of momentum that makes home crowds believe something real is being built. Chivas sit third in the Liga MX table with nine points from four matches, unbeaten since a Matchday 1 setback, and their attack has been relentless — a 5-2 dismantling of Tijuana and a 3-0 road win at Atlético San Luis among the highlights. Ricardo Marin has been the engine of it all, contributing four goals and two assists while putting six shots on target. Roberto Alvarado has created 11 chances, a figure that puts him among the most dangerous creators in the league.

Pumas arrive with their own credentials. Sitting seventh with six points and a +2 goal differential, they are not here to make up the numbers. Juninho has matched Marin goal-for-goal with four of his own, and Uriel Antuna has created eight chances to keep defenses honest. The visitors just knocked off León 3-1 on the road, which is the kind of result that earns a team respect heading into a hostile environment.

This is a matchup between two sides playing with genuine purpose, and the individual battles across the pitch — Marin against Pumas’ backline, Juninho against Guadalajara’s defense — give it a sharp competitive edge.

Game Preview

Guadalajara’s third-place standing with nine points puts them firmly in the conversation for a Liguilla berth — the top eight in the table qualify for the quarter-finals — and a result here would tighten their grip on that position. Pumas sit seventh with six points, also within the qualification zone, but the gap between these two sides in the table makes this a meaningful test of where Pumas actually belong. Both teams carry a +2 goal differential, which tells you the scoring has been efficient on both sides, even if Guadalajara’s path there has looked more dominant.

What to Watch For

Ricardo Marin is the player Guadalajara builds around right now. Four goals and two assists through four matches is a pace that demands attention from every defense he faces, and with Roberto Alvarado creating 11 chances behind him and Brian Gutierrez adding six chances created of his own, Chivas have multiple ways to generate danger. Richard Ledezma has also chipped in with a goal and three chances created, giving the attack real depth.

For Pumas, Juninho is the obvious focal point — four goals on four shots on target is a clinical return that any striker would be proud of. But the supporting cast matters too. Luciano Ramon Herrera has contributed one goal, one assist, four shots on target, and four chances created, while Rodrigo Lopez has two assists and five chances created. Robert Morales leads the team with three assists, making him the connector Pumas rely on to get Juninho into dangerous positions.

The question is whether Pumas’ attack, which has been productive enough to sit seventh, can function at the same level against a Guadalajara side that has conceded sparingly and won convincingly on the road. That tension — Pumas’ genuine quality against Chivas’ unbeaten run — is what gives this match its weight.
