- Juarez have won once and drawn twice with Puebla in the last three meetings in Liga MX 2025/2026.
- Puebla have lost their last four matches in all competitions.
Juarez have the edge
FC Juarez have the better of Puebla in the form book, and they look the only likely winner when the sides meet on Saturday afternoon at Estadio Benito Juarez, Mexico. There's plenty of value in backing the home team here, as Juarez have been marked as the favourites at 1.65, while Puebla are 4.76 and the draw 3.88.
Their most recent clash finished 1-1 in Puebla, but Juarez are 2-1-1 at home in all competitions this term and they should have too much for the visitors in Mexico. Puebla have been very poor travellers in the opening months of the season, winning just one of their five trips in all competitions, while averaging just 0.80 goals for and shipping an average of 2.20 per game.
Puebla have been very weak travellers
Juarez are a versatile unit that can set up in a flexible shape that has control as the priority, but can flip to direct play when the press works or they win the second ball. They will be eager to lock up Puebla's pivot, who are likely to sit compact, slow the game down and look to hit on the counter attack.
Last time out, Juarez suffered back-to-back away defeats to Leon and Pumas UNAM, but they are back on home soil here and should be able to squeeze out a win against a Puebla side that have lost their last four. The visitors will make this a hard slog for Juarez, and the home side may not get a barrage of chances to score, so it's not a game that should be rushed into.
Goals should arrive at both ends
Over 2.5 goals at 1.69 is not a bad price, but both teams to score at 1.68 looks the best play for this Saturday's Liga MX clash at Estadio Benito Juarez. It's the sharper price and there's enough evidence to suggest that both sides can find the net here. While a Juarez win appears to be the likeliest result, this could be a grinding affair rather than a stroll for the hosts if Puebla set up a low block.
