Match preview: Puebla vs Athletic
Puebla and Athletic will clash at the Cuauhtemoc Stadium in the opening round of the MX League. Historically, direct confrontations have favoured the visiting team, boasting 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 6 encounters. Notably, their previous meeting at this venue on 20‑07-2024 concluded with Athletic winning 1-2, with Lucas Cavallini scoring for Puebla and E. Aguirre netting twice for Athletic. This match may see home advantage significantly impact the outcome, as both teams exhibit considerable disparities in their home and away records.
Team analysis: Puebla
This marks the home team’s first match in the current competition, having finished the last season in 17th position. Puebla tends to be stronger at home, while their away performances reveal a record of 1 win, 3 draws, and 11 losses, scoring 9 goals and conceding 25. In contrast, at home, they achieved 3 wins, 1 draw, and 11 losses, with 15 goals scored and 25 conceded. Their last league outing saw them lose to Necaxa at home, 0-1. Over the last 10 home matches, Puebla has recorded 2 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses. The defense has allowed goals in 8 of those games, indicating a necessary improvement, as their attack has also faltered, failing to score in 7 of the last 10 matches. Home games tend to produce goals, with 11 of 16 finishing with over 2.5 goals. Out of 15 matches, they conceded the first goal 9 times and were unable to turn the score around.
Team analysis: Athletic
Athletic will also play their first match in this season’s competition, having concluded the last campaign in 14th place. Curiously, they have been more effective away than at home, achieving 4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses in their last 30 away games, compared to 2 wins, 8 draws, and 5 losses at home. Their last match resulted in a 1-1 draw against Chivas Guadalajara at home. In their last 10 away matches, Athletic recorded 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses. They need to tighten their defence, having allowed goals in all of their last 10 fixtures; however, their attack has shown consistency, scoring in 8 out of those 10 games. Away fixtures typically see goals, as 12 of their last 18 concluded with over 2.5 goals. Athletic seldom opens the scoring, managing to do so in only 3 of their last 15 matches, of which they were leading at half-time in 2 and ultimately won only 1. Remarkably, in 15 games, they turned the score around in just 3 instances when conceding first. In the last 18 away matches in all competitions, they netted 7 of their 19 goals between the 76th and 90th minutes.
Athletic recognises the necessity of improving their away performance. Last season posed considerable challenges in this aspect, prompting a need to adapt their strategy for winning crucial away points. A greater respect for their opponents and effective counter-attacking may play a pivotal role in achieving a positive result in this challenging clash.
