Veracruz Puebla betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This confrontation tends to be balanced, considering that it faces two teams of low technical quality and who struggle to move away from the last positions of the Mexican Championship. Veracruz have lost only 2 of the last 7 matches played in their stadium and scored goals in 7 of the last 9 matches under these conditions, while Puebla came from 2 away victories and scored a good number of goals in those two games. Given these factors, we believe in an open game, as both teams need victory, and both Veracruz and Puebla must score at least one goal each.

Veracruz has been performing poorly in the Clausura of the Mexican Championship and is among the last placed to take advantage of only 33% of the points played so far and it is worth mentioning that it is one of the two teams that have not yet drawn in this phase. The team scored 5 goals, being the Clausura worst attack, and conceded 9 goals, having the third defense less leaked and these figures demonstrate the great imbalance between the offensive and defensive sectors, being necessary to adjust offensively to score more goals, since the defense has behaved in a solid and efficient manner.

The away team is currently in the 15th position of the league, with 9 points won, after 7 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Toluca, by (1‑3).
