Puebla form and stats

Puebla's struggle is real here at Estadio Cuauhtémoc with only 8 points collected from 8 Liga MX games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-4. Two home wins in a row for Puebla bring valid hopes of a third.

Puebla lost their last game at Leon after a 0-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Puebla won a home game hosting Leon (2-1).

Nicolás Vikonis had a busy but productive day in the Leon match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

A decent goal production from Puebla in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.

Guadalajara form and stats

The visitors are W3-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Liga MX.

There might be some fixture complaints from Guadalajara as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Liga MX match against Leon (0-1). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Leon.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Guadalajara have scored 9 goals in 8 league games away. As opposed to that, Guadalajara have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
