Puebla welcome Atlante to Estadio Cuauhtemoc in a fixture that pits a mid-table home side chasing consistency against a struggling away outfit that has not tasted victory in five matches. Puebla sit 8th with 13 points from 8 games, Atlante linger in 15th with just 7 points, only three places above the relegation zone. What makes this one interesting is Puebla’s home bite: three wins in their last five outings compared to Atlante’s zero wins in the same stretch, all while Atlante have drawn three of their last five without finding a way to actually win.
Two players worth watching closely: Eduardo Mustre has scored twice in just three appearances for Puebla and adds real threat off the bench or from the start, while Martin Sarrafiore remains Atlante’s only reliable source of goals, netting twice in his last five games with 12 shots attempted, easily the highest shot volume in the visiting squad.
Hot stat: Puebla have won the corner count battle nearly three to one over their last five matches, 28 corners against Atlante’s 10, a gap that says plenty about which side dictates territory and final-third pressure heading into this one.

Puebla vs Atlante prediction
We predict a Puebla win here, and to be honest the case is fairly straightforward once the recent form is lined up. Puebla have won 3 of their last 5 matches while Atlante have won none of their last 5, drawing three and losing two. Atlante’s away scoring output has dried up almost completely, just 2 goals across those five games, while Puebla have found the net 7 times in the same span. The home side’s attack, paired with a defense that at least keeps things competitive at Estadio Cuauhtemoc, gives them a clear edge.
Puebla average more fouls conceded (54 over five games) than Atlante commit (58), yet pick up fewer yellow cards, 5 against Atlante’s 8, plus a red card shown to Atlante already this stretch. That disciplinary gap suggests Atlante play a more reactive, chasing style, conceding possession and territory, which lines up with their inferior pass accuracy figures compared to Puebla. Expect Puebla to control the ball for long spells and convert that control into chances, particularly given Atlante’s away form offers little resistance.

Team Analysis
Puebla’s last match ended in a 0-1 home defeat to Toluca, a result that snapped a two-game winning streak against Necaxa and Pachuca. In our preview of Puebla vs Toluca we backed Toluca to take the points on the road given their league-leading form, and the 0-1 scoreline delivered that call cleanly, even if the expected goals-at-both-ends element did not materialize. Before that loss, Puebla had strung together wins over Necaxa (1-0), a wild 3-2 defeat of Santos Laguna, and a 3-2 win against Pachuca, only interrupted by a 0-2 setback against Club America. The pattern shows a team capable of scoring freely but occasionally exposed defensively against sharper opposition, something Atlante’s blunt attack should struggle to punish.
Atlante’s last outing brought a heavy 0-3 loss away at Pachuca, extending a run without a win. Before that, they picked up back-to-back 1-1 draws against Atlas and Club Leon, sandwiched between a 0-2 loss to UANL Tigres and a scoreless draw with Toluca. Five matches, zero wins, a single goal scored outside of the draws, this is a side short on attacking ideas away from home. The Pachuca defeat in particular highlighted how thin their margin for error is once the opposition applies sustained pressure, which does not bode well against a Puebla side playing in front of their own crowd.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Puebla the favourite
- Moneyline Puebla 2.05 | Atlante 3.15
- Draw 3.30
Bookmakers price Puebla as clear favourites, roughly a 44% implied chance against Atlante’s 29%, with the draw sitting around 27%. That pricing tracks with the underlying form gap, Puebla winning regularly at home while Atlante have gone five without a win anywhere. We see value backing the home side directly rather than the draw, given how rarely Atlante have found the net on the road this season.
Possible Starting Lineups
Puebla possible starting eleven
- GK: Ricardo Gutierrez
- DF: Juan Pablo Vargas, Facundo Almada, Oscar Villa, Angel Leyva
- MF: Alejandro Organista, Iker Moreno, Carlos Baltazar, Kevin Velasco, Brayan Garnica
- FW: Fernando Monarrez
Gutierrez has started all five recent matches and racked up 12 saves, making him the clear number one over Jesus Rodriguez. The back four of Vargas, Almada, Villa and Leyva have all featured in every recent match, giving Espinoza a settled defensive unit. Organista’s high pass volume anchors midfield, while Baltazar and Velasco offer goal threat from deeper positions. Expect the familiar 4-2-3-1, with Monarrez leading the line and Garnica floating wide to link with Mustre off the bench.
Atlante possible starting eleven
- GK: Oscar Jimenez
- DF: Juan Carrera, Cristobal Alfaro, Aaron Quiros, Walter Portales
- MF: Eugenio Pizzuto, Jhojan Julio, Joaquin Moxica, Martin Sarrafiore, Jairon Charcopa
- FW: Luis Puente
Jimenez, with 13 saves across four appearances, remains Herrera’s preferred goalkeeper. The back line mixes experience with Alfaro and Quiros both featuring heavily on interceptions, though their away form has been shaky against sharper attacks. Sarrafiore is the player to watch, he carries most of Atlante’s attacking output, while Julio’s high foul and interception numbers suggest a combative midfield role. Herrera also lines up in a 4-2-3-1, with Puente as the focal point up front, though goals have been hard to come by on the road.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Our punters team leans firmly toward Puebla here. The home side carries better recent form, a sharper attack averaging 1.4 goals per game over their last five, and a defense that, while occasionally leaky, has faced tougher opposition than Atlante’s recent schedule. Atlante arrive having failed to win in five straight, scoring just twice in that span, and their away record this season sits well below their home output. We predict a 2-0 Puebla win, with the corner count and shot volume both trending firmly in the home side’s favor. Perhaps Atlante steal a goal on the counter, but backing them to leave Puebla with points looks like a stretch based on everything the data shows.
