- Head-to-head: Club America have won four of the last five H2H meetings between the clubs, with Puebla taking just one and no draws.

Águilas can soar above La Franja
Overview
Liga MX 2026/2027 leaders Club America can soar above Puebla at Estadio Banorte on Sunday and make it another win against La Franja. Guillermo Almada has made a quick impact on Club America since taking charge of the team in June and his Águilas are flying high after five rounds of the new season.
Odds and head-to-head
Águilas are priced at 1.41 for the win against 7.0 for the visitors, which looks like a bit of a lock given the recent head-to-head record and current form of the teams. Club America have won four of the last five against Puebla, including a 4-0 away win in Liga MX 2025/2026 at the end of February. La Franja haven't won in their last away game against Club America and that's why it's hard to support anything other than the home team.
Recent form
The recent form also points to a Club America victory as they have four wins and one defeat from their last five games, whereas Puebla have three defeats, one draw and one win in their last five. Gerardo Espinoza has done a good job since taking over at the beginning of July and has been trying to fashion Puebla into a compact team that sits deep and counterattacks vertically.
Goals at a premium
However, the draw is 4.6, so the market is still fully in favour of a home win, despite the obvious advantage of the hosts.
- Puebla have won two and lost one of their three Liga MX 2026/2027 away games, and they have also conceded four goals on their travels.
- Almada's game plan is built around ball possession, pressing and tempo, which is the complete opposite to Puebla's style, so this clash of styles should ensure that América dictate the play and keep La Franja penned back.
- Over 2.5 goals is 1.62 for this game, but we're going to play it safe and back Both Teams to Score – No at 1.91 as this should be one for the home side to control and keep Puebla quiet.
Henry can make the difference
Henry Martin has been the most accurate goal-getter for Club America so far in Liga MX 2026/2027, netting three times in five games, so he's the best choice in the anytime scorer market this Sunday as he's the main man in the box.
Alberto Herrera has been Puebla's chief creator in the new campaign, providing two assists in just two appearances, while Eduardo Mustre is their leading scorer with one goal in four. Mustre has also scored three times in Puebla's last five matches, so he could well score on the counterattack in this clash.
