Cruz Azul is the most exciting team in the Liga MX Guard1anes Tournament 2021 at the moment. They will face Pumas UNAM looking to extend their fascinating strak by adding their eight straight win in the national league. The hosts need to keep with their recovery but do not face an easy job by playing against the possible new champions.

The Cementeros have done amazingly since the third round after healing from a bad start. The team managed by Juan Reynoso Guzmán have recorded a win ever since that matchday and seem as a too strong side for their rivals. 

Pumas is struggling at the competition, but they recovered from a terrible losing streak in the last round with three highly-needed points. Andres Lillini and his team need to keep by that way to improve their current place at the table.

Pumas vs Cruz Azul: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Cruz Azul are having an excellent time at the Liga MX as their winning streak doesn't seem to stop and they are a serious title contender. Juan Reynoso Guzmán and his squad have recorded seven straight wins so far, keeping a clean sheet in five of them, and they are one win away from reaching the eight consecutive triumphs they achieved in 2014.

Pumas' situation is much worse, but they did bounce back after terrible weeks getting beaten every round. Andres Lillini's side put to an end a poor streak of four succesive loses when they defeated Santos Laguna in the midweek ninth round.

Now they'll face a tough challenge against the leaders. However, Pumas demolished Cruz Azul the last time they faced each other in the semifinals of the Apertura by 4-0. Still, it's been more than 20 years since they recorded two straight wins against the Máquina.
