Puebla
LLLDLD ⚠
Puebla prepare for this game after a 0-0 Liga MX (Clausura) tied result against CD Guadalajara.
In that match, Puebla managed 46% possession and 11 shots on goal with 3 on target. On the other side, Guadalajara had 13 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Érick Gutiérrez (37') scored for CD Guadalajara.
A common theme in recent Puebla games is the number of results with a nil in them.
From their previous six matches before this one, in 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a loser. That pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this next game, however.
Pre-game facts show that Puebla:
- have not registered a win against Necaxa in their previous 2 league games.
