Puebla form and stats

With 2 Liga MX wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Puebla are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Stress levels are on the rise for Puebla's attacking players as they have now played 351 minutes without scoring in a league game. C. Tabo was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Puebla in their previous match, an away game at America that ended in defeat 0-1. In the match before that, Puebla hosted Monterrey and drew the game 0-0.

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 eight matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost five.

The Puebla fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 8 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Puebla defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Juárez form and stats

There's been little loot from Juárez's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Liga MX. Juárez only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws.

Juárez play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Guadalajara. A 0-2 defeat away at America before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Juárez playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were three Juárez wins, two draws and zero defeats.

Juárez have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Juárez struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 13 goals conceded from these games.
