Puebla

LLLDLL ⚠

Puebla will be wanting a better result here after the 1-0 Liga MX (Clausura) loss in their previous game against CD Guadalajara.

In that match, Puebla had 46% possession and 11 shots at goal with 3 on target. At the other end, Guadalajara got 13 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Érick Gutiérrez (37') was the scorer for CD Guadalajara.

An interesting aspect of more recent Puebla games is the number of nil scores.

From their previous 6 matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a loser. Even so, time will tell if the trend might be replicated here in this game.

• have not registered a win against Necaxa in their previous 2 league games.
• are without a home win in the past 3 league games.

📋 Team News: Necaxa

Thanks to a mainly healthy group, there’s just a single fitness problem for the Necaxa manager Nicolás Larcamón to contend with. Agustín Oliveros (Shin injury) won’t be in action.

💡 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Necaxa and Puebla are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.

At this stage, it appears to have the makings of a possible draw. We’re therefore seeing a very close game with a 0-0 scoreline at the end of the 90 minutes.
