Both sides arrive with contrasting recent runs – Puebla have been prolific, Atlante have struggled to find the net. The fixture pits Puebla's attacking edge against an Atlante side that concedes heavily away.

Jonesy's Verdict

Strong
Over 2.5 goals Strong lean Strong · High xG gap

The combined expected‑goal tally of 3.3 and a 64% model probability make the over‑2.5 goals pick the most compelling option.

Show the maths
Puebla’s xG of 2.0 and Atlante’s xG of 1.3 give a combined expected‑goal total of 3.3. The model translates that into a 64% chance the match will produce more than 2.5 goals. Since the over probability comfortably exceeds the 50% threshold, the model’s confidence in a goal‑filled game is strong.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes 62.9% model probability

With Puebla averaging 2.0 expected goals and Atlante FC averaging 1.3, the model gives a 62.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 37.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Puebla 2.0, Atlante FC 1.3) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 62.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 37.1% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals 64.0% model probability

Combined expected goals of 3.3 (Puebla 2.0 + Atlante FC 1.3) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 64.0% chance against 36.0% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Puebla 2.0 + Atlante FC 1.3 = 3.3 combined): 64.0% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 36.0% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Puebla at 53.6%, the draw at 21.6%, and Atlante FC at 24.7% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.6% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Puebla

DWWLW

Puebla’s recent five results (D‑W‑W‑L‑W) include a 3‑2 away win over Pachuca and a 3‑2 home win against Santos Laguna, showing they can score three goals against quality opposition. Their only recent loss, 0‑2 at Club America, still left them with a respectable xG, underscoring a consistent threat that backs the over‑2.5 goals pick.

Atlante FC

DLDDL

Atlante’s last five matches (D‑L‑D‑D‑L) feature a 0‑2 away defeat to Tigres and a 0‑3 home loss to Pachuca, both highlighting defensive frailties. Even in a 1‑1 home draw with León, they managed to find the net, confirming they can contribute to a higher total despite conceding frequently.

Head-to-Head

The most recent head‑to‑head meeting on 2024‑12‑23 ended 1‑0 to Atlante, a low‑scoring result that runs counter to the current model’s over‑2.5 goals outlook.
