Insights:
  • Atlas have the fewest matches over the total-line (8) in Liga MX
  • Puebla have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Atlas form and stats

With 2 Liga MX wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Atlas, who have the fewest points (7) at home in Liga MX, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Necaxa with a 5-1 scoreline.

Camilo Vargas loved the game against Tigres UANL. With a stunning seven saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 1-0 victory. Manager D. Cocca Pera felt very clever after Julio Furch scored the winning goal against Tigres UANL, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 78th minute.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Atlas as they are travelling to their away game against Puebla in the Liga MX. That match is three days after this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Atlas here at Estadio Jalisco in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 8 games). Atlas have conceded 8 in these home matches. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Santos Laguna in their previous outing. The Liga MX match ended in a draw 0-0. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Pumas UNAM.
