Club America vs Puebla Prediction and Betting Tips
Club America will welcome Puebla to the Estadio America in their Liga MX Apertura match on Saturday.
The hosts have played just one game in the league thus far and suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Juarez in the campaign opener. Leonardo Suárez gave them an early lead in the 15th minute but Juarez scored twice in the second half, including a late winner deep into injury time to overturn the deficit.
The visitors have endured a winless start to their league campaign and, after a 1-1 draw against Tigres UANL in their campaign opener, they fell to a 3-2 home loss to Santos Laguna last week. Federico Mancuello and Brayan Angulo were on the scoresheet in the first half while Laguna also scored twice in the first half and bagged the winning goal in the 77th minute.

Club America vs Puebla Prediction
Las Águilas fell to a home defeat in their campaign opener and will look to bounce back to winning ways. They are unbeaten since 2018 against the visitors and should have the upper hand at home. They remain without the services of star striker Henry Martín, who is on international duty with the Mexico national team.
La Franja have scored in their first two games of the season and will look to continue their goalscoring ways on Saturday. They have scored at least one goal in their last seven meetings against the capital club and should be able to find the back of the net.
As both teams have struggled to get going thus far, a low-scoring draw seems to be on the cards.
Prediction: Club America 1-1 Puebla
