Preview: 4 points are the diference between the sides until now, Puebla on top. Can Atlas upset the odds?
- Atlas have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Puebla have the most dropped points from leading position (8) in Liga MX
It's no vacation for neither Atlas nor Puebla as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Atlas form and stats
Atlas have played 4 Liga MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).
The Atlas crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Juárez here at Estadio Jalisco. Defender Aguirre got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.75/10. Aguirre won 10 of 12 duels.
A 1-1 draw away before that, with Guadalajara the opponent.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 13 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 1 and lost 4.
Atlas have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Jalisco with 7 goals in 4 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.
Puebla form and stats
1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Puebla playing as the away team in the Liga MX this season. Sharing is caring, but Puebla are perhaps overdoing it with their four draws in a row.
Puebla delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Necaxa (placed 4th) in their previous match. Midfielder de Buen was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.3. Buen hit two key passes.
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Tijuana that ended 3-3.We have checked recent matches where Puebla have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were 7 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats.
As for defending, Puebla rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 9 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Stats for the last ten meetings involving these two sides are: three wins for Atlas, one draw and six wins for Puebla. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: nine games.
