Puebla vs Atlas Prediction for Clausura’s Matchday 12
Puebla take on Atlas on the 18th of March in a gladiator fight at Estadio Cuauhtemoc. Make sure to check out these Puebla vs Atlas betting tips if you want to make a solid Liga MX bet this week!

1-0 to Puebla
With two consecutive victories in the Clausura, coach Eduardo Arce’s boys climbed the ladder and are now finally in a spot that gives them the right to partake in the final series playoffs.
We believe Puebla will be able to hold on to a 1-0 win over Atlas as they did four times in the last 10 games. Furthermore, Puebla won six of the last 10 games in general and it’ll be surprising to see them fail against Atlas with home-field support behind them.
Atlas, Queretaro, and Mazatlan are the big losers in Liga MX right now. Each one of these three teams barely won a game in the 11 Clausura fixtures so far.
Under 1.5 Goals
Seeing as the 1-0 win is the most common result in this rivalry, we feel quite comfortable with our top Puebla vs Atlas prediction this week.
A whopping 60% of the last 10 games between the two teams ended with a narrow 1-0 win and it wouldn’t be at all surprising for the game on Saturday to lack goalscoring opportunities as well.
The visitors’ attack has been dreadful this entire season long and with only 12 goals scored since the start of the Clausura, Atlas are currently the 3rd-weakest team when it comes to attacking statistics. And things aren’t going to get much better for them on the 18th of March as it’s Puebla who’ll have the home-field advantage.

Puebla vs Atlas Lineups & Team News
Puebla
Even Puebla’s last game was a 1-0 win which corresponds greatly with our top Puebla vs Atlas predictions this week. Chivas’ world-class defense couldn’t cope with the pressure and eventually, in the 40th minute of the game, it cracked. Gustavo Ferrareis winner was decisive and he’ll be the one to watch on Saturday.
Predicted lineup – A. Silva (GK), Gustavo, Gularte, De Buen, G. Silva, Martinez, Robles, Mancuello, Diaz, Fernandez & Barragan
Atlas
Again, coach Benjamin Mora’s boys lost their previous Liga MX fixture with the same result as we mentioned in our Puebla vs Atlas predictions – 1-0. The game against Leon was far from being a lackluster event as the two teams combined made 40 shots at target. It was just dumb luck we didn’t get to see more goals at Estadio Jalisco.
Predicted lineup – Vargas (GK), Barbosa, Nervo, Aguirre, Reyes, Herrera, Rocha, Marquez, Lozano, Quinones & Furch

Player to Watch: Federico Mancuello
When you take into account Federico Mancuello’s tally this season and the position he plays in, how could you not consider him the player to watch on Saturday? Only a center midfielder, the 33-year-old has been crushing it in Liga MX. He has three goals and three assists for Puebla in the Clausura and is both the top scorer and creator on the team.
