- León have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Puebla have the most dropped points from leading position (22) in Liga MX
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Liga MX game only four days ago.
León form and stats
León have collected 14 points from their Liga MX home games so far after 4-2-2.
León enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Queretaro's place. The match ended 3-0 with Mena, Moreno and Dávila scoring. Finally, a league win after three fixtures without. Midfield player Mena got a match rating of 8.14 in that game, the max score being 10. Mena scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 36 successful passes (of 41 total).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Pachuca (0-1).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 León have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 5 and lost 2.
There will be little rest for León after this match as they are travelling to Juarez for a Liga MX game in only three days.
Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
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). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.
Puebla go into this game after a win, the home game against Mazatlan that ended 3-1. Those three points felt sweet as this team had gone three league fixtures without victory. Gularte was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.21. The defender Gularte scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 6 of 7 duels.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Atlético San Luis wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.Puebla are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
Observe that 9 of this club's 12 most recent league matches have ended with three goals or more.
A new game in only three days for Puebla, the Liga MX home match versus Cruz Azul. Busy days.
Puebla has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 12 goals from 8 games. Puebla have conceded 12 goals in these games. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
