Over their past 6 games alone, a total of 25 goals have gone in for both teams combined (at an average of 4.17 goals per game) with 7 of them being chalked up by Puebla. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this game, though.

• are winless against Tigres de la UANL in their previous 2 league games.
• haven’t won at home in the past 3 league games.

Tigres de la UANL

Their past results show that Tigres de la UANL:

• have not emerged victorious against Puebla when they've played them away from home in the last 6 league games. Not the best of away records.

📰 Team News: Puebla

There’s just a single fitness concern for the Puebla gaffer Andrés Carevic to contend with from a near full-strength group. Facundo Waller (Knee injury) will miss out.

It seems likely that Los Camoteros could kick off with a 4-3-3 system for this one with J. Iván Rodríguez, Kevin Velasco, Gaston Silva, Sebastián Olmedo, Brayan Angulo, Pablo Gonzalez, Alberto Herrera, Diego De Buen, Martín Barragán, Lucas Cavallini and M. Angel Sansores.

📋 Team News: Tigres

With a fully injury-free group available to choose from, the Tigres boss Robert Siboldi doesn’t have any fitness worries to report coming into this game.

From our viewpoint, Los Tigres will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with C. Felipe Rodríguez, Javier Aquino, Samir Santos, Guido Pizarro, Jesús Angulo, Fernando Gorriarán, R. De Souza, J. Ozziel Herrera, J. F. Brunetta, Marcelo Flores and Nicolás Ibáñez.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, Puebla have it in them to put one past this Tigres de la UANL outfit, although just one goal possibly won’t be enough to give them the result that they want.

We are therefore anticipating both teams to score in a 1-2 winning score for Tigres de la UANL at the end of this one.
