The visiting Necaxa side should be favourites in this visit to Puebla, as the away team holds a 17 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Puebla form and stats
With 2 Liga MX wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Puebla, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Liga MX, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
In their previous game, the manager J. Reynoso led his Puebla to a defeat in the Liga MX match away at Morelia. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Cuauhtemoc. The points were shared before that, a Copa MX home game that ended 0-0 versus Cimarrones de Sonora.
The Puebla fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. Puebla have conceded 15 from these games.
Necaxa form and stats
Necaxa's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Necaxa, who have the most points (18) away in Liga MX, collect 18 points from their 8 away matches in the Liga MX. 6 victories and 0 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). A great winning streak in away games for Necaxa as they have managed to win six matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Tigres UANL have they travelled home without three points.
It's the second away game in a row for Necaxa, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Atletico San Luis (placed 15th) in the Liga MX last time out. A 0-1 defeat away at Celaya before that.
Necaxa has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 14 goals from 8 games. Necaxa have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: 2 - 4 - 3 (Puebla wins - draws - Necaxa wins). As for goals, 3 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 6 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
