- Head-to-head: Gallos Blancos Queretaro have won four of the last five meetings against Puebla, including a 2-1 victory away at Puebla six months ago.
- Current form: Queretaro are on a 4-match losing streak, while Puebla are winless in their last 5 (D2, L3).
- Home/away stats: Queretaro average 1.33 goals scored and 1.50 goals conceded per home game, while Puebla average 1.12 goals scored and 1.38 conceded per away game in Liga MX 2026/2027.
Gallos Blancos are the hosts, but the visitors are the underdogs
The odds of 1.81 on the hosts, Gallos Blancos, are too low for a team who come into this fixture on the back of a 4-game losing streak and four defeats in their last five matches, ahead of La Franja at 3.9 and the draw at 3.8. Both teams to score at 1.6 and over 2.5 goals at 1.65 look more likely for this one, and should result in an open and lively game at Estadio La Corregidora.
Gallos are in a slump having lost four of their last five games. The last two of those matches were a 1-3 home loss to Cruz Azul and a 3-1 away loss to FC Juarez. They sit 11th in Liga MX 2026/2027 with 20 points from 14 games.
Puebla are four points and places worse off in 14th after 15 games, and they are also in rough shape, winless in their last 5 (D2, L3).
Queretaro should edge it, but Puebla will give it a shot
Queretaro coach:
Head coach Esteban Gonzalez has built a compact, transition-based unit since taking charge at the start of 2026. This team are a well-disciplined and set-piece oriented team, who can hold their own, but they have been losing games on a regular basis of late.
Puebla coach:
La Franja boss Gerardo Espinoza took charge in July 2026, and has implemented a higher press, quicker tempo and more vertical style of play to try and force turnovers, as opposed to sitting back and allowing the opposition to have the ball. He is yet to have the success that his predecessor had.
Bet on both teams to get on the board
This should be a good fixture for both clubs, as Gallos Blancos prefer to keep a low-to-medium block and Puebla like to press the ball. The tactical pull of these teams could leave some space on both sides of the field for counters and both sides can get on the scoreboard. However, Queretaro have an advantage in the head-to-head record and should edge a close game.
While Gallos Blancos should be edging it based on the head-to-head and home advantage, the odds of 1.81 on the home team are simply too short to put any faith in, but the chances of both parties getting on the scoresheet and a 3 or more goal game look good in the betting.
- Ali Avila is the dangerman for the home side with four Liga MX 2026/2027 goals in 9 appearances, and is the man to watch as he has scored two of Queretaro's last 5 goals.
- Eduardo Mustre has been in prolific form for Puebla with three goals in six appearances in the current campaign, while Omar Moreno has chipped in with a pair of goals in their last 5.
