It's game two of the Liga MX campaign and everything to play for. Don't miss our detailed preview of Puebla-Santos Laguna!
These teams have little in common geographically as Santos Laguna have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Both contenders have had enough rest since their last match. Let's hope for an animated game!
Puebla form and stats
The season before, Puebla's league stats were 6 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, leading to 7th position in the Liga MX. During these 17 matches they scored 16 goals and gave away 16. Appearing at their own stadium in the previous season Puebla produced 3-3-3 (win-draw-lost) with 9 goals and 9 conceded.
A good away victory last time out for Puebla, who won 4-2 against Mazatlan (placed 17th). A goal frenzy last time out for Puebla, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Mazatlan. Fun stuff to watch! The host team have an in-form goalscorer in Aristeguieta, having bagged a goal in three matches in a row. Midfielder Ferrareis was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.81 (out of ten) in that game. Ferrareis served one assist, hit five key passes and had 20 successful passes (of 24 total).
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting America (2-3).Santos Laguna form and stats
Let's have a look at how Santos Laguna performed last season in the Liga MX: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 9 draws and 3 defeats. In total they scored 23 and conceded 16 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 3 and lost 2 with 14/9 goals scored/conceded.
Santos Laguna are travelling after their nice 4-3 home win in the game against Monterrey (placed 14th). That victory felt nice as this side had gone three league fixtures without victory. What a finish in the last match, as Santos came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Lozano's goal in the 90th minute. Lozano came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Monterrey last time out, making the manager Caixinha feel like a tactical genius. The attacker Preciado got a match rating of 8.61 in that game. Preciado scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Preceding that game was the away victory against Atlético San Luis with the score of 3-1.Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's one Puebla victory, five draws and four Santos Laguna wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
