Puebla and Pumas UNAM have met several times in the past few years, and the home side has hardly ever had the upper hand. In their most recent meeting in Feb, Puebla lost at home 2-3, and after that there were both draws and defeats. This time both teams are in a patch of indifferent results, and each needs points to move up from mid-table. Puebla have just lost two in a row, especially the latest 3-4 defeat, a game where they scored but conceded no fewer. Pumas UNAM are also without a win in two straight, but the pattern of play looks different. Pumas UNAM on the road have slightly less possession than the home side (43.1% in the last 10 games) and register 3.9 shots on target per game, compared with Puebla who have 45% possession and 4.1 shots on target per game. This game is likely to open cautiously, with neither side daring to take too many risks. Puebla as the home team should see more of the ball and push forward more, while Pumas UNAM are likely to sit back and wait to counter, a pattern that makes a wide margin unlikely, and a draw or a narrow home win is more probable than a big away victory.
