León form and stats

The overall Liga MX statistics playing at home this season for León are 3-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

León lost their last game at Atlético San Luis after a 0-2 scoreline. Midfielder Montes was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.54 (out of ten) in that game. Montes hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Before that, León drew at home versus Queretaro.

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 ten games) they have won five times, drawn four and lost one.

There will be little rest for León after this match as they are travelling to America for a Liga MX game in only four days.

León are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, León have conceded only 6 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Puebla form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga MX travels is 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. Puebla has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Puebla's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Pumas UNAM that finished 2-2. It looked so good for Puebla vs Pumas UNAM, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. Parra, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.33. Parra scored one goal, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 24 successful passes (of 27 total).

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Toluca's place.

Puebla are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is six wins, three draws and six defeats. From a total of 15 matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Puebla manager Larcamón as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Pachuca.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far). It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
