Chivas Guadalajara vs. Club Puebla Betting Prediction

Chivas Guadalajara Preview

Gabriel Milito and his colleagues are currently facing a spell of adversity, as the club has gone two matches in a row without a win for only the second time this campaign. On Saturday, Chivas were picked apart on the road against Tigres, suffering a 4-1 setback, their heaviest defeat in 2026. You have to go back just over a year ago in  competitive play, to the last time Chivas surrendered four goals. 

One of the league's most lethal forwards saw his five-game scoring streak come to a halt, as Armando González was silenced on Saturday. Currently, the soon-to-be 23-year-old is tied at the top of the Clausura Golden Boot race with 12 goals. González will look to build momentum again, going into the playoffs to carry the club to a 13th league title.

Club Puebla Preview

Alberto Espigares' seat could be getting warmer as we approach the conclusion of the 2026 Clausura, with the club sitting in third place from the bottom of the table. Los Camoteros are winless in their last five, which include three losses, all by one goal. Over the weekend, Club Puebla fell in a tightly contested match, failing to score while allowing a single goal against Club León.

One of the main reasons why Club Puebla is failing in 2026 is the lack of production on offense. After 14 matchdays, the club has laboured to find the back of the net, averaging a league-low 0.80 goals per match. The lack of finishing has hurt this side in securing results, with the one-goal defeats endured. Also in the expected goals stats: they possess an xG of 15.5, but reality has seen them obtain only 11 goals.

Chivas Guadalajara vs. Club Puebla - My Pick

• Chivas Guadalajara vs. Club Puebla pick: Both teams to score yes (-164) at FanDuel

On Saturday, we are predicting not only a home side win, but also a two-goal or greater margin of victory. The Sacred Herd have been a force for the opposing side to deal with at Estadio Akron in 2026. Through six home dates, Chivas have amassed 15 goals while only conceding three.

While yes, Club Puebla has only given up a goal per match on the road, their ability to feature on the scorers sheet is where they could be exploited, especially if they fall victim to juggernauts like Chivas. The Striped Goats are licking their wounds from last weekend's embarrassing loss; expect them to be locked in and to take their frustrations out on the below-average performing squad.
