Club Puebla and Atlas FC get the 2025-26 Liga MX Apertura campaign underway when they lock horns at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc on Friday. Pablo Guede’s men have failed to win their last four home games against Atlas and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Club Puebla endured a forgettable Liga MX Clausura campaign last term as they finished bottom but one in the table with nine points from 17 games, just two points above last-placed Santos Laguna.
Their underwhelming run of results was owing to their lack of sting in attack, where Guede’s side netted just 12 league goals, three fewer than any other side in the division.
Puebla head into Friday’s season opener without a win in their last 10 games, claiming one draw and losing nine, including a 2-1 defeat against Club America in their only pre-season friendly on July 3.

Like the home side, Atlas will also be looking to improve on their performance from the Clausura last term, where they finished 14th in the league standings.
Gonzalo Pineda’s men won just four of their 17 league matches while losing seven and claiming six draws to finish with 18 points, three points off the playoff qualifying places.
Atlas were involved in just one pre-season warm-up game, which came on June 8 when they fell to a 1-0 defeat against MLS outfit Philadelphia Union.
