This is the Liga MX season opener for these teams, who are finally competing for points again. Will Atlas or Puebla get that important first win?
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Atlas form and stats
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Atlas have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won 4 times, drawn 2 and lost 4.
Last season, Atlas's league statistics were 6 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses, resulting in a 13th position in the Liga MX. Over these 17 matches they scored 19 goals and conceded 28. Playing at home last season Atlas managed 3-0-5 (win-draw-lost) with 9 goals and 10 conceded.
Puebla form and stats
Puebla are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of twelve matches.
Let's have a look at how Puebla performed last season in the Liga MX: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 6 draws and 5 defeats. In total they scored 18 and conceded 21 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 1 and lost 3 with 10/9 goals scored/conceded.
