The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Necaxa.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 Juárez have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.
The Juárez fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. On the other hand, Juárez have conceded 10 goals.
Puebla form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Puebla so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-2 (win-draw-lose).
This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Atlas with 0-4 on the scoreboard.

Mancuello got a match rating of 7.32 in that game, top player of the team. Mancuello hit five key passes and had 49 successful passes (of 55 total).
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Guadalajara.We have checked recent matches where Puebla have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 10 games were 4 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
