San Luis
- San Luis are favorites with the bookies ahead of their home game against Puebla on Saturday in a game where both teams will be desperate for the win to jump-start their campaigns and push them into the Liguilla race.
- San Luis have 7 points from 7 matches.
- Spanish coach Guillermo Abascal has set up his team to play a modern, possession-based game with a controlled build-up and some really dynamic attacking play - especially at home.
- They are a streaky team, however, with two wins, one draw and two losses in their last five Clausura matches, but the wins include a 3-0 home victory over mid-table Querétaro and a 0-2 away success at the home of Liga MX title hopefuls, América.
Puebla
- Albert Espigares, a young and talented graduate from the club’s academy, has tried to make them more solid in defence and more compact in their low block, but they remain unable to grab goals.
- Puebla are winless in their last five league games, losing three and drawing two, and their lack of creativity and attacking threat was brutally exposed by América in the 0-4 away defeat they suffered.
Head-to-Head
San Luis have won all of their last five meetings against Puebla in Liga MX.
San Luis
They have the perfect player to unlock defences in the form of João Pedro , the league’s top scorer so far in the Clausura, whose predatory instincts and finishing ability make him San Luis’s talisman.
Puebla
Edgar Guerra is their leading scorer while Esteban Lozano and Emiliano Gómez are capable of offering a little bite up front.
Betting Insights
The ‘Both Teams To Score’ option is available at 1.7 for this game, which seems overpriced for a team that has struggled to score and another that has an in-form number 9.
Prediction
Back the Red and Whites to squeeze out a win with João Pedro on a hot streak at 1.84 .
