Puebla form and stats
The first Liga MX game here at Estadio Cuauhtémoc resulted in a draw. Last season Puebla's home game statistics were 1 victory, 2 draws and 2 defeats from 5 games.
No payout for Puebla in their previous match, an away game at Tigres UANL that ended in defeat 1-2. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Guadalajara.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Puebla have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won one time, drawn one and lost two.
Early season league goal statistics from Puebla's 1 home game: 1 goal, 1 conceded.

Pachuca are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and five defeats. From a total of six matches.
1 goal so far away for Pachuca, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
