They're already at the stadium! Both universitarios and Xolos have already arrived at the Olímpico Universitario to play the first match of Sunday's matchday.

Pumas have not lost in their debut in the last nine Liga MX tournaments, the last time they lost in their presentation was in the 2017 Clausura. They also have home statistics in their favor, as when they have played on matchday 1 at the Olímpico Universitario, they have not lost since the 2004 Apertura.

The venue for this match will be the Estadio Olimpico Universitario, a multi-purpose sports venue that belongs to the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and is home to the Pumas de la UNAM. This stadium is located within Ciudad Universitaria in Mexico City. It has a capacity for 72 thousand spectators.

The match between Pumas and Xolos de Tijuana at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario is just under an hour away. Both teams have been reinforced and want to start the Apertura 2022 with a win. Will either team be able to do it? Follow all our coverage on VAVEL USA.

 

Eduardo Salvio arrived in Mexico City to undergo physical tests and sign a contract with Pumas de la UNAM. This Argentinean player comes from Boca Jrs. and, although he will not see action in this match, he is a player who will be in the spotlight throughout the tournament.

The most recent match between Pumas and Tijuana took place in February of this year on matchday 4 of the Clausura 2022, where the Xolos won 1-0 with a goal by Lisandro Ezequiel López in the 69th minute to win at home.

Pedro Alexis Canelo | The Xolos' star reinforcement from Toluca has arrived to join the team's squad. After the departure of Mauro Manotas, Canelo will be responsible for Xolos' attack. Alexis has already made his debut as a goal scorer in Tijuana's preseason.

Juan Ignacio Dinneno | The Argentine striker had a good tournament in the Concachampions and also in the local tournament. Now with three reinforcements in the attack, Dinneno will have to take advantage of his teammates to score goals. The Argentinean has great qualities for heading and always being in the area.

On the other hand, the Xolos have been out of the Liga MX for several tournaments and want to return to the prominence they had years ago. The board of directors decided to dismiss coach Sebastián Méndez, and Ricardo Valiño, champion in the Expansion League with Atlético Morelia, arrived to replace him. This is how La Jauria begins a new stage with several changes in their roster. In the preseason they were undefeated with two wins and three ties.

 

After the failure of last year's tournament, in which they failed to qualify for the playoffs and finished runners-up in the CONCACAF Champions League, Pumas renewed their squad and after some departures such as those of Mozo and Talavera, there were also important additions with two Argentine players who will seek the long-awaited championship that has eluded the universitarios for a decade. In the preseason, Pumas UNAM accumulated four victories and only one defeat, their most recent match, which was against Rayados de Monterrey by a score of 0-1.

A new chapter in Mexican football began this weekend and, this Sunday, the Stadium Olímpico Universitario will host the first match of the Apertura 2022, where a reinforced Pumas will want to take advantage of their home advantage and start the tournament on the right foot. However, the Xolos, who have a luxury reinforcement in the form of Pedro Alexis Canelo, will be looking to get a good result away from home. 

The Pumas - Xolos Tijuana match will be played at the Stadium Olimpico Universitario, in CDMX, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 1:00 pm ET.
