Puebla - Making Slow Progress (DLDDW)

In their last 5 games played, Puebla managed to win only a single fixture. In their last game, they held the game quite tight against Atletico de San Luis. Puebla has a goal-scoring average of 1.3 goals per game, making them likely to score at least 1 goal. However, their record from the last two games remains quite uncertain as they haven't been able to score and play an attacking game.
