Atletico San Luis vs Puebla Predictions

• Both teams have scored in 3 of San Luis’ last 4 Liga MX home games.
• San Luis have won 2 of said matches.
• Puebla have scored an average of a goal a game over their last 5 Liga MX matches.
• Puebla have lost 5 of their last 7 away games.

San Luis looking for home win

Coming into the season as a newly promoted club, San Luis haven’t turned many heads in Liga MX. They finished 15th in the Apertura phase and are currently 10th in the Clausura phase; meaning their performances to date make for fairly average reading overall and put them about where they expected to be.

Nonetheless, with no teams set to be relegated from Liga MX this term, the hosts are under no pressure and as such, can afford to play in an open manner to try and sneak into a top 8 spot. Just a point short of the play-offs at the time of writing, San Luis have every chance of doing that and having won 2 of their last 4 home league gems, they’ll be confident in picking up 3 points on Saturday.

Puebla looking to take a result home

Meanwhile, Puebla were another outfit who came into the campaign with little expectancy on them. The side finished rock bottom of the opening phase of action and whilst they are performing a little better in this phase, they still find themselves in 13th with just 11 points from 9 matches.

Nonetheless, unbeaten in 3 matches, of which they’ve won 2, Puebla have a degree of momentum behind them and certainly won’t be apprehensive prior to making this trip. However, they’ve also lost 5 of their last 7 away games, so aren’t the strongest travellers and will have to improve in that regard if they are to take something home.

An open game is expected

Ultimately, Saturday’s game should be an exciting and action packed one, with both teams going all out for the win. Neither side faces the threat of relegation and both will be itching to piece together a run of form that could see them break into the all important play-off spots.

All in all, we see good value in backing the Both Teams to Score line here and feel it provides the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned. Both nets have been hit in 3 of San Luis’ last 4 league games and with Puebla having scored an average of a goal a game over their last 5 outings, both should be able to notch. As far as a winner goes, we do see the hosts edging it due to Puebla’s poor away form and think they’ll run out 2-1 victors.
