León form and stats

This stadium, Estadio León, has been a fortress for León in the Liga MX so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 7-1-0. We have seen two home losses in a row now for León, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The León crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Cruz Azul here at Estadio León in a Liga MX match. In the game before, an away victory match versus Pumas UNAM with a 1-0 scoreline.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier León matches with similar probabilities have ended with eight wins, one draw and one defeat (from ten games).

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

The León fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 8 league matches. From these home matches, León have conceded only 7 goals. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Puebla form and stats

4 wins, 0 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Puebla playing as the away team in the Liga MX this season.

Puebla go into this game after a win, the home game against Necaxa that ended 1-0. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Queretaro.

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 four games. Results were one away win, one draw and two home wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Puebla are hosting Tigres UANL in the Liga MX only three days away.

Puebla have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. Puebla have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: León - Puebla 2-0. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for León, one draw and three wins for Puebla. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
