America vs Puebla Prediction and Betting Tips | January 22, 2023

Club America welcome Puebla to the Estadio Azteca in the Liga MX on Sunday (January 22).

The two teams are set to renew their hostilities three months after their Apertura 2022 Liga MX final phase quarterfinals. America dominated both legs, triumphing 11-2 on aggregate. With only two games played in the second championship of the season - Clausura 2023 – America have time to recover from their slow start.

Aguilas were held to a goalless draw at home in their opening game against Queretaro before playing out another draw (2-2) against Toluca. Toluca had knocked America out of the Apertura final phase in the semifinals, winning 3-2, so America could look to avenge that loss.

Puebla, meanwhile, opened their campaign with a heavy 5-1 loss against Apertura 2022 winners Pachuca. However, they returned to winning ways with a 2-0 triumph over Queretaro, which leaves them in tenth place with three points.

Los Camoteros will have a tough assignment at Estadio Azteca, where America are yet to lose in 18 outings. Liga MX meetings between the two teams have largely been dominated by the hosts, who have come out on top in their last three games, outscoring Puebla 13-3.

America vs Puebla Prediction

Coach Fernando Ortiz can’t afford another setback at home following the goalless draw against Queretaro. America have an eye-catching frontline, including Henry Martin, Brian Rodriguez and Roger Martínez to beat the visitors.

Meanwhile, Martín Barragan is available to spearhead the visitors’ attack. The 31-year-old has scored ten goals, including four game-opening efforts. However, their main challenge would be to contain the America at the Estadio Azteca.

The hosts are highly favoured to win the clash due to their individual and collective qualities.

Prediction: America 3-1 Puebla
