Puebla vs Necaxa Betting Preview

Puebla was punchless in the season opener

La Franja wasn’t in sync during its season opener. Anyone looking at Puebla vs Necaxa odds will see that Puebla was flagged five times for offsides. Puebla only generated an xG of .8 and got three shots on target.

Monterrey was able to get six shots on target and had 20 attempts at the net overall. Puebla will be searching to try and keep the pressure on its opponents. Puebla will need to avoid taking too many silly fouls. Puebla’s defense was slowed down by the 10 fouls and three yellow cards it took last week.

Soccer statistics show that Guillermo Martinez Ayla leads Puebla with 10 goals.

Necaxa catches a break

Trailing after 87 minutes wasn’t where Puebla wanted to be. But anyone looking at Puebla vs Necaxa odds shows that Necaxa caught a break. Atlas took a red card in the 61st minute and couldn’t handle Necaxa’s pressure level.

Ricardo Monreal and Alana Isidro Montes Castro each scored in the 88th and 93rd minutes, respectively to give Necaxa a win and a boost in the soccer standings. Necaxa generated 14 shots during its 2-1 win over Atlas, but only got five of those attempts on target.

Necaxa’s pressure after Atlas drew the red card resulted in plenty of opportunities for Necaxa. Necaxa was able to draw seven corner kicks and battled through being whistled for 16 fouls. Necaxa will be a little worried about how Atlas was able to attack before it drew the red card. However, it was a good lesson for Necaxa to learn so early in the season.

Puebla vs Necaxa Betting Picks

This is a match where people making Liga MX predictions will see Puebla will be desperate to get a result. After not playing well in its backline for the last match, Puebla will want to try and show it can keep its opponent off the scoreboard. Puebla didn’t generate much of an attack against Monterrey, however. This match will stay under the total, as both teams will struggle to finish their chances.

Backing Puebla to win this match on the three-way moneyline at -108 feels like too steep of a price. Puebla needs to show it can score consistently before being back as a narrow favorite at home. It is best to take a chance on this match ending in a draw at a little over a two-to-one payout.

• Pick 1: Puebla -108
• Pick 2: UNDER.
