Puebla

• At home, Puebla have won 1 and drawn 1 in Liga MX 2026/2027.
• Puebla have scored 4 goals in 2 home games in Liga MX 2026/2027.
• They come into this on the back of a 1-0 victory away to Necaxa, which is an impressive result after a previous 2-0 defeat at Club America.

Atlante

• Atlante are 15th on 7 points from 8.
• Atlante have scored 1.25 and conceded 1.75 goals per game on the road in Liga MX 2026/2027.
• Atlante have won 0, drawn 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 games, with a 1-1 draw at Atlas preceding a 0-3 home defeat to Pachuca last time out.
• The Potros have been more vulnerable on the road in Liga MX 2026/2027, winning 1, drawing 1 and losing 2 of their 4 away games this season.

Eduardo Mustre

• Eduardo Mustre has popped up with 3 goals in 6 Liga MX 2026/2027 games so far for Puebla, and he has 3 of their 6 goals in their last 5 matches.
• He is Puebla's primary attacking option and they look to be playing with a little more purpose than the opposition this weekend.

Betting Insights

• This matchup should be a clash of styles between Espinoza's structured possession game, which has a fast transition component to it, and Herrera's direct, attacking game.
• Backing both teams to score, which is priced at 1.55, seems a solid way into this game.
• The over 2.5 goals market, at 1.65, also appeals.

Prediction

• I am tipping Puebla to nick it though at home.
• La Franja are 2.1 to win and that seems a fair enough price given that they should be able to control this match in spells as the home side.
