This is an Apertura fixture between two sides who have found wins hard to come by. CheckLive has not installed a favourite, meaning the numbers do not significantly favour either team. With both teams in poor form, a draw is a real possibility.
Pachuca have won only once in five, a 1-0 defeat of Charlotte, but have lost 2-1 to Columbus, 3-1 to Cincinnati, 1-0 to Club León and 2-1 to Querétaro. Puebla have drawn 1-1 with Guadalajara and lost 3-2 to San Diego, 3-0 to Austin, 5-2 to Portland and 2-1 to Cruz Azul.
The head-to-head record is heavily in Pachuca's favour, with six wins and two draws from eight meetings, and no Puebla victory. Their most recent meeting ended 3-1 to Pachuca in a friendly. The key thing to watch is whether either side can turn around a run of poor results, and whether Puebla can finally get something from a team they have not beaten in their last eight attempts.
