Week 10 brings us a match on Aug 21st where Puebla will travel to Guadalajara to battle Atlas in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Liga MX teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Atlas recorded a 0-1 loss against Juárez. Jesús Dueñas struck first for Juárez in the 65th minute on a feed from Maximiliano Olivera, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Atlas couldn’t manage to score, and Juárez took the shutout win. Atlas looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while in their last match, Puebla recorded a 2-2 draw against Necaxa. Martín Barragán struck first for Puebla in the 15th minute, then Facundo Batista tied it up for Necaxa in the 54th minute . Puebla is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Puebla won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Omar Fernández and Israel Reyes are the top scorers for Puebla in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Julian Andres Quinones Quinones has been the most effective weapon for Atlas lately. The attacker has netted 2 goals in his last 5 matches.
