Atlas form and stats

Atlas have played 5 Liga MX games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Atlas after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The Atlas goalkeeper Camilo Andres Vargas Gil is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 256 minutes without conceding a goal in the Liga MX.

Atlas's previous game was a Liga MX match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Leon (placed 5th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Anderson Santamaría, defender, was given a rating of 7.85/10 in that game, top of the team. Santamaría scored one goal and won 3 of 3 duels.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Necaxa with a 3-0 scoreline.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Atlas's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn one and lost zero.

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

Atlas has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Atlas have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.

Puebla form and stats

Playing away, Puebla have won 0 games, drawn 3 and suffered 2 defeats in the Liga MX this season. With three draws in a row for Puebla the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

Puebla's last game was the home draw against Cruz Azul (1-1). Diego de Buen was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.4. The defender Buen hit the woodwork once and won 5 of 8 duels.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Santos Laguna.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Puebla playing away, we found five games. Results were two away wins, two draws and one home win.

A new game in only three days for Puebla, the Liga MX home match versus Pachuca. Busy days.

The attacking power of Puebla when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. As opposed to that, Puebla have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Atlas five wins, zero draws and Puebla five victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight games had two or less.
