Querétaro meanwhile played out a 1-1 draw against Pachuca. They had the ball only for 33% of the minutes and managed to get no other shot, but Querétaro scored with the only one on target, that being Ayrton Preciado, the most notable score of the game that was seen mostly in the defensive zone.

Prediction: Can Puebla Win?
Puebla’s Form:
- Puebla last 10 league matches: 2 win, 6 losses, 2 draws
- Average 1.0 goals per game and 40.9% possession on average 4.2 corners per match.
- Top scorers will be the names of Lucas Daniel Cavallini with 4 goals, Diego De Buen and Raul Castillo which have 1 goal each.
Querétaro’s Form:
- Querétaro has been having a poor streak that includes getting 8 losses and drawing 2 in their last 10 games.
- They averaged scoring 0.8 goals per game and had 2.1 shots to target while they let in an average 2.3 goals.
- One of Querétaro’s key men is Ayrton Preciado who scored 1 goal in recent matches.
With Querétaro in such bad form, having lost 8 of their last 10, Puebla will be the better team going into the game. The visiting side has been more stable and boasts a much superior home record. The Querétaro defense hasn’t really been all that great, and they haven’t managed well to hold onto possession in big games.
Expert Analysis and Prediction:
Given the current form and key statistics, Puebla is to win this game. A home advantage plus good options of attack place Puebla very high in getting a positive result from this game. Our probability getting a 2-1 win for Puebla with at least one goal coming through Santiago Ormeno is correct.
