Puebla form and stats

1-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga MX numbers at home for Puebla so far this season.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Puebla, who played 3-3 against Queretaro. That match was also played at this venue (Estadio Cuauhtémoc). In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Necaxa.

There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Queretaro as Christian Tabó's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 1-3 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
