Pachuca Puebla betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 7^th position of the league, with 8 points won, after 10 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Toluca, by (1‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Atlas, by (4‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 8 goals scored and 11 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 23 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa Libertadores, they got an away loss against Racing Club by (1‑0). In the last 10 away league matches Puebla has a record of 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 10 of the last 12 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 3. In the last 12 away matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Puebla comes from a good participation in Apertura, but was eliminated in the quarterfinals. With a squad full of newcomers, the team expected to be on top of it's game and that has been happening, since the team is in the qualifying zone for the next phase. A loss can make the team drop a few positions in the league table, making it even more important to gain a few points. Last week the team went to Argentina to face Racing, losing 1-0 and being eliminated from Copa Libertadores still in the preliminary phase. Now, all of the team's focus is in the national championship and the Coach Pablo Marini should have all players avaiable.

Confirmed Lineup: Cristian Campestrini, Robert Herrera, Oscar Rojas, Ramón Arias, Carlos Orrantia, Mauro Cejas, Damian Escudero, Patricio Araujo, Christian Valdez, David Toledo.
Coach: Á. Navarro Bica, J. de la Torre Menchaca.
