After poor participation in the Leagues Cup, the Mexican teams return to action, and the defending champions, América, receive a poor Puebla.
The Águilas were eliminated on penalties by Colorado from the international competition, while in the Liga MX, their last result was a victory over Juarez.
La Franja got out of the Leagues Cup in the group stage, and they played against Atlas after that, losing as locals.

Why Bet on América?
The locals and defending champions are going through ups and downs this new season, as they have won two and lost two out of their four matches. There is nothing to worry about yet, as it is not the first time they start the regular season slow, just to recover entering mid-phase before finishing at the top of the table most of the time.
Playing at home is a huge advantage for the Águilas in this clash. This team is still without a single loss at home in Liga MX during 2024. The last time this team lost a league game as a local was in December 2023. However, it’s fair to think that, this season, the statistic would break, considering they are playing at the Ciudad de los Deportes.
Club América is also in much better form than their current opponents despite failing to get to the final stages of the Leagues Cup. They, at least, won two games in the US during their run.
Why Bet on Puebla?
Puebla will be the visitors in this encounter, and the team is going through a bad start. They are placed 13th on the board after five matches, in which they won one andtied another, but lost 3, indicating that there has not been any improvement since last season.
It’s been more than six years and four months since the last time Puebla beat Club América. They did so as locals, while the last time these guys beat Mexico’s most illustrious soccer club at Estadio Azteca was in 2011.
Puebla lost both of its Leagues Cup games before being sent back home. The team won only one of its last ten games in all competitions.
Final Betting Analysis: América vs. Puebla
This is an ideal opportunity for the home team to get back onto the winning track. Winning this clash would give Club América a huge morale boost, getting its players ready for the challenges coming their way in the next couple of weeks, like the game with Cruz Azul or El Clasico against Chivas de Guadalajara.
We believe that Puebla will be at a great disadvantage facing the defending champions, and we expect the home team to get a clean win in front of their crowd. We’ll bet on a 2-0.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.32. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $32 for a total payout of $132.
