The stats don’t lie, and Puebla have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 19 goals in all. At the back, Puebla have clearly had some problems.

Their prior results show that Puebla:

• haven't beaten Club América when they have played them away from home in the previous 10 matches in the league. A very poor set of away results, indeed.
• have not won away from home in their last 8 league games. What a terrible run of away results.

🧠 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Club América will, in all likelihood, stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
