Alebrijes Oaxaca (home)
- Alebrijes Oaxaca currently sit 11th in the Liga de Expansion 2025/2026 table after a disappointing start to the season with just five points from four games.
- Their last five games, however, have shown some promise with one win, three draws and one defeat.
- Juan Manuel Rivera’s men have a compact, low-risk 4-4-2 setup in which they stay solid in defence, clog the middle third and counterattack with pace when they can.
- Alfonso Tamay is likely to be their biggest threat in attack on Saturday, with one goal in four league games this season.
- Alebrijes have won once and lost once at home, averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.50 goals conceded so far in the league.
Coyotes de Tlaxcala (away)
- Coyotes de Tlaxcala have had a much better start to the 2025/2026 campaign and currently sit in 4th place after amassing nine points from their opening five games.
- Gustavo Leal took over in January 2026 and immediately set about implementing a progressive, high-tempo, wing-back heavy 3-4-3 system which has Tlaxcala playing some of their best soccer in recent memory.
- In their last three games, Tlaxcala have enjoyed a 2-1 win over Irapuato at home, a narrow but deserved 2-1 defeat to the division’s leaders Correcaminos de la UAT away from home and finally a 5-2 thumping of Leones Negros to send a message to the rest of the league.
- Christian has been in fine form for Tlaxcala this season, netting four goals and assisting three in the club’s opening five league games - a direct involvement in seven of their ten goals.

Betting Insights
- Coyotes de Tlaxcala are winless on the road this season, losing both away games and conceding an average of 3.00 goals per away match in Liga de Expansion 2025/2026.
- This match is likely to be a chess match between the wingers and the defensive wing-backs, with the fullbacks on both sides battling for supremacy on the flanks.
- Alebrijes are the favorites for this game at 2.12, while Tlaxcala are 3.2.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.65 looks a solid play as both teams are conceding, but it will take a concerted effort from both to get them.
Prediction
The home team will have it all to do here, but I do think Tlaxcala have the momentum and the quality to continue their strong start to the 2025/2026 season.
