Puebla form and stats

The complete Liga MX results at home this season for Puebla are 3-5-1 (wins-draws-losses).

A nice win for Puebla last time playing, versus Guadalajara. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Ferrareis scoring for the victors. The goalie Silva was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.42 out of ten. Silva topped it up with a clean sheet.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Pumas UNAM and winning 4-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Puebla have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won 7, drawn 7 and lost 1.

Atlas form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Atlas so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-7 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.

A loss against Leon was the result prior to that, in a Liga MX home game.
