Tijuana to take top spot
Pachuca CF should have their best chance of winning Tuesday's Liga MX 2026/2027 clash at home to Puebla, although it could be an open game with plenty of goal-mouth action at both ends. Benjamin Mora has been Pachuca's coach since 1st July 2026 and his vertical 4-3-3 is designed to press opponents high up and hit in transition.
Tuzos have struggled to find their best form early this season, however, winning just one of their last five. Their previous two games were back-to-back CONCACAF Leagues Cup defeats, 3-1 at FC Cincinnati and 2-1 at Columbus Crew. Pachuca are 13th in the table with three points from three games, while Puebla are 11th with four points from as many.
Puebla are led by Gerardo Espinoza, who took charge on 1 July 2026, and he has been working to make them a more ordered, compact side with a structured mid-block. Espinoza also wants his players to be more progressive and patient when in possession.
Pachuca have the edge
Although Puebla have played pretty well to collect four points from their first three Liga MX 2026/2027 fixtures, Pachuca have the best chance of taking the three points on Tuesday. The hosts are the 49/100 favourites, but Puebla are 5/1 and the draw 33/10, which is far too big on the home side.
Tuzos should have the better of this matchup given they have won four of the last five meetings and drawn one, which was a 2-1 home win over Puebla five months ago in 2025/2026. Pachuca are 49/100 to win and both teams to score, which suits the numbers here and the recent head-to-head.
Expect a goal-fest
Pachuca's home record in Liga MX 2026/2027 is ugly: 0 wins, 0 draws, 1 defeat, 1.00 goals per game scored and 2.00 conceded. Puebla's away record is 1 win, 1 defeat, 1.00 scored and 1.00 conceded. Over 2.5 goals at 13/20 looks very reasonable, as does Both Teams to Score Yes at 3/4, which suggests we are in for an open Liga MX affair. Oussama Idrissi has been the main creative force for Pachuca so far, providing two assists in three Liga MX 2026/2027 games, while Jose Salomon Rondon is the danger man with three goals in three matches and three of his team's last six. Alberto Herrera is Puebla's chief creator with two assists in two games, while Eduardo Mustre is the sharpest finisher with one in his three Liga MX 2026/2027 outings and two in their last five overall.
