Veracruz Puebla betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 16^th position of the league, with 2 points won, after 5 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Toluca, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Santos Laguna, by (1‑1). 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 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 30 conceded; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 23 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa MX, they got a home loss against Juárez by (1‑2). In the last 10 away league matches Puebla has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 30 possible. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑0 (4 out of 10 matches) and after the 90' 2‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 4 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Puebla had a disappointing season in Apertura where they finished only in 12th place and started very badly the Clausura where they have not won after 3 games, having accumulated 2 draws and 1 loss. The team's main problem is the inefficiency of its defense, which was Apertura's second most leaked and conceded in all three games in the current national stage, with a team that even tries to be offensive, creates opportunities, but its defensive sector is fragile, slow to compose, and routinely caught in counter-attacks. Playing away from home, such as this Friday's match, Puebla lost 3 of their last 4 games and only in the last 2 matches, suffered no less than 8 goals, again showing their defensive problems, especially away from their home where opponents act in a more offensive way and the team does not have enough quality to nullify these assaults. For the confrontation against Veracruz, coach Meza has no problems with injuries or suspensions and goes to the field with maximum strength.
