Puebla form and stats

With 1 Liga MX win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Puebla are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A strong away win for Puebla against Necaxa the last match, as Guillermo Martinez were on target. Manager N. Larcamón felt very clever after Guillermo Martinez scored the winning goal against Necaxa, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 46th minute. Midfielder Lucas Maia was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.43 (out of ten) in that game. Maia hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Pachuca (1-2).

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 ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost four.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Liga MX game versus Leon in only four days. This game is also played here at Estadio Cuauhtémoc.

Puebla are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. Puebla's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Juarez.
