Puebla form and stats

The Puebla goalkeeper Nicolas Vikonis Mureau is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 200 minutes without conceding a goal in the Liga MX.

Puebla enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Atlas's place. The match ended 1-0 with Cristian Menéndez scoring. Ahead of that match, Puebla won a home game hosting Necaxa (3-0).

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 eleven games. Puebla has won 4 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.

Last season, Puebla's league statistics were 6 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, resulting in a 10th position in the Liga MX. Over these 17 matches they scored 18 goals and conceded 21. Playing at home last season Puebla managed 2-5-2 (win-draw-lost) with 8 goals and 12 conceded.

Querétaro form and stats

0 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Querétaro playing as the away team in the Liga MX this season. Bitter travels for Querétaro as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Atlético San Luis match.

The supporters enjoyed Querétaro's previous game versus Juarez (placed 17th), a Copa MX 3-2 win played at home. A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Tijuana.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Querétaro playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were 3 Querétaro wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats.

Querétaro have the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Querétaro - Puebla 1-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Puebla won 4, Querétaro won 2 and 4 draws. 5 games with over 2,5 goals, 5 matches with two goals or less.
