Puebla (away)
- Puebla have lost their way a little in recent weeks with four straight defeats and only two wins in their last 10 in all competitions.
- Albert Espigares' side have tried to increase the tempo and play more vertically but have lacked the quality to do so consistently and always look vulnerable when they are forced to sit deep.

Betting Insights
- The home team are the clear favorites at 1.34 with Puebla as big outsiders at 8.3 and the draw priced at 4.8.
- But that suggests this will be a lively game and we are not getting much value on a home victory unless we take Over 2.5 goals at 1.59.
- A Cruz Azul win with both teams to score seems the sharp alternative to back if Puebla can nick a chance or two in transition.
Prediction
A Cruz Azul win with both teams to score is the preferred outcome given Cruz Azul's recent form and Puebla's vulnerability on the counter.
