- FC Juarez are a shade of odds-on favourites for the win at Estadio Benito Juarez.

- Juarez have won one, drawn one and lost three of their five matches in Liga MX 2026/2027.
Tight battle expected between Juarez and Puebla
FC Juarez are the market favourites for this Saturday's Liga MX 2026-2027 clash with Puebla at Estadio Benito Juarez, but the bookmakers could be making a mistake by overlooking the visitors in this fixture. Juarez are available at 13/20, while Puebla have drifted out to 94/25 and the draw is 72/25.
Los Bravos could make a breakthrough this weekend against a Puebla side who arrive in terrible nick. After four straight defeats, Puebla have failed to win any of their last five in all competitions (D1, L4).
Puebla's recent record against Juarez also provides some encouragement to the hosts, who will be looking to make the most of their home advantage this Saturday. The head-to-head record between these sides in Liga MX 2025/2026 reads W1, D2, and Puebla are without a win in their last three away matches against Juarez.
Juarez have the edge at home
Pedro Caixinha's Juarez side are a very flexible unit which operates a shape that's initially set up to control, but can flip into a direct, counter-attacking style if the press lands. Albert Espigares' Puebla are set up in a more compact 4-2-3-1 and will look to stay tight, slow the game down and punish their opponents when they get it.
The form, head-to-head and home advantage all point towards Juarez securing all three points in this contest, but Puebla are in a low block and can make this a grind. A home win looks the safest play, while over 2.5 goals at 69/100 and both teams to score at 17/25 also appeal, with the latter selection more of a sharp pick.
