Puebla will welcome Atlas to the Estadio Cuauhtémoc in the Liga MX Apertura on Friday. The hosts have just one win in three league games and have dropped to 11th place in the league table. The visitors have enjoyed an unbeaten run in three games and are in seventh place with five points, one more than the hosts.
The hosts began their league campaign with a 1-0 home triumph over Santos Laguna, with Lucas Cavallini scoring the winning goal from the penalty spot in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
They are winless in their last two games and, after a 4-1 loss to Necaxa on Saturday, they played out a 2-2 draw against Leon on Tuesday. Cavallini bagged a brace, including the equalizer from the penalty spot in stoppage time.
The visitors are unbeaten in their three league outings and, after drawing their first two games of the season, they registered their first win on Tuesday. Jeremy Márquez's 65th-minute strike helped them register a 1-0 home win over Santos Laguna.

Puebla vs Atlas Prediction
La Franja have been in poor form recently and have just two wins in Liga MX in 2024. They have enjoyed an unbeaten run at home in the league this term and are unbeaten in their last three home meetings against the visitors.
Los Rojinegros have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their league campaign, registering two draws. They secured their first win of the season earlier this week and will look to build on that form. Nonetheless, they are winless in their last 12 away games in the league, which is a cause for concern.
Three of the last five meetings between the two teams have ended in draws and, considering their form in the league this term, a low-scoring draw is likely to ensue.
Prediction: Puebla 1-1 Atlas
