Puebla vs Pumas UNAM prediction: Routine Pumas win
Key Stats

- Pumas won three games on the spin versus this opponent.
- Puebla’s last win over Pumas was two years ago – on the 5th of March, 2023.
Correct score prediction: Puebla 0-2 Pumas UNAM
Seeing as coach Pablo Guede’s team couldn’t score a single goal in the last 270 minutes of soccer against this opponent, we trust our primary Puebla vs Pumas UNAM prediction will succeed. We saw a 0-2 win for Pumas in the previous encounter at Estadio Cuauhtemoc.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Visitors to achieve the expected
- HOME: +220 – 30.5%
- DRAW: +245 – 25.0%
- AWAY: +118 – 44.5%
*These Puebla vs Pumas UNAM odds are subject to change
Understandably, Pumas UNAM are the bookmakers’ expected winners at Estadio Cuauhtemoc. Their odds are priced at +118, which translates to a 44.5% win probability away from home. We as well are leaning toward an away team win because Puebla only seem to have a 30.5% shot at the three points this week.
Maybe Luis Quinones and his colleagues will do their best, which is why we believe we will see over 3.5 total bookings. The odds related to our Puebla vs Pumas UNAM prediction are set at +145, giving it a good 40.82% chance of success.

Puebla team news and form: Guede has the knowledge
Puebla’s manager is enjoying a positive 2-1-1 record versus this opponent. He seems as the sort of manager who knows what he has to do in order to get the right result against Pumas, but we doubt he will have a lucky game this week.
Predicted lineup: Jimenez (GK), Ferrareis, Fedorco, Martinez, Orona, Angulo, Moyano, Rivas, Marin, Quinones & Gomez

Pumas UNAM team news and form: Visitors need a win
With four back-to-back Liga MX losses, it’s fair to say that Pumas UNAM really miss Cesar Huerta. The latter began his European journey, leaving Pumas in ruins. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, as Puebla’s performances recently have also been abysmal.

Player to watch: Luis Quinones
Former Tigres UANL star Luis Quinones now plays for Puebla. And with three goals and an assist in the 2024/25 Liga MX campaign, it’s fair to say he is doing a fine job so far. We expect him to do his best to disprove our top Puebla vs Pumas UNAM predictions.
Second player to watch: Robert Ergas
Left-back Robert Ergas is performing his heart out for Pumas this season. He supplied teammates with three assists, proving he is one of the better creators in Liga MX right now.
