Only the second game in the Liga MX for these teams and it's all to play for here at Estadio Cuauhtémoc as Puebla welcomes Guadalajara. Check out this preview!

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

12-11-18 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Guadalajara when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 41 matches are 47-60 (scored/conceded).

Puebla form and stats

Last season, Puebla's league statistics were 6 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses, resulting in a 12th position in the Liga MX. Over these 17 matches they scored 22 goals and conceded 25. Playing at home last season Puebla managed 2-2-4 (win-draw-lost) with 12 goals and 13 conceded.

Puebla travelled for their previous game, a trip to Monterrey that ended 1-1. Lucas Maia was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.42 out of 10. The defender Maia hit two key passes and won 4 of 7 duels.

Ahead of that match, Puebla won a home game hosting Santos Laguna (1-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Puebla perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Puebla as a small favourite), we find ten games. Puebla has won four of these, drawn one and lost five.
