Pumas Tabasco form and stats

Pumas Tabasco's struggle is real here with only 3 points collected from 7 Liga de Expansión MX games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-3-4. Tabasco are slowly digging their own grave here with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Mineros de Zacatecas match.

The home team returns after being equal after 90 minutes with Atlante on their last time out; the Liga de Expansión MX game ended 0-0. Before that, Tabasco drew at home versus Atlante.

The Tabasco fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Tabasco are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (16 from 7 played).
