Monterrey

WLLLWW

Proving their fondness for productive matches, the back of the net has been hit 21 times in the last six games in which Monterrey have played, making it an average of 3.5 goals per fixture. Opposing teams have managed 10 of those goals. We will have to find out whether or not that trend can be continued on here.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Monterrey:

• have left without a victory over Puebla in games played away from home for the previous 4 league games. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• are undefeated in their last 3 league matches away from home.

🗞️ Team News: Puebla

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Puebla boss Eduardo Arce to be concerned with from an otherwise complete squad. Fernando Aristeguieta (Tibia and Fibula Fracture) misses out.

ℹ️ Team News: Monterrey

Thanks to a largely healthy squad, there is just the one fitness worry for the Monterrey boss Víctor Vucetich to contend with. Joao Rojas (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be in action.

🧠 Prediction

When taking everything into account, Puebla could find themselves struggling to break down this Monterrey side who we reckon will end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

That’s why our selection here is for a very even contest with a 0-1 victory for Monterrey after 90 minutes.

Hoping for a good game.
