Pumas UNAM form and stats

Pumas UNAM have played three Liga MX home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 231 minutes without scoring a league goal. S. Saucedo was the last player to find the net.

In their previous game, the manager A. Lillini led his Pumas to a defeat in the Liga MX match away at Necaxa. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Olímpico de Universitario. Midfield player Higor Meritão got a match rating of 7.4 in that game, the max score being 10. Meritão hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 3 of 3 times.

In the match before that, Pumas UNAM hosted Queretaro and drew the game 0-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Pumas have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won five, drawn three and lost three.

Pumas UNAM have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Pumas's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Puebla form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Liga MX for Puebla with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.

Puebla has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Tijuana for a Liga MX game that ended a draw (1-1). Lucas Maia was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.3. The defender Maia won 7 of 12 duels. The draw against Tijuana came from a losing position. The Puebla manager N. Larcamón brought on Guillermo Martinez as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

A draw for Puebla before that, at their own venue hosting Tigres UANL (1-1).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Puebla playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Puebla win, two draws and one defeat.

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 4 goals have been conceded by Puebla in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the previous ten meetings involving these two contenders are: three wins for Pumas, three draws and four wins for Puebla. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
