Club Puebla host Atlante FC at Estadio Cuauhtemoc on Friday, September 18 (9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 PM PT).
No fresh fitness concerns have emerged for either squad ahead of this one at Estadio Cuauhtemoc, so the shape of both lineups points squarely at the players already doing the damage. Eduardo Mustre Torres leads the Club Puebla attack with 3 goals from 9 shots this season. Carlos Alberto Baltazar Agraz and Kevin Andres Velasco Bonilla supply the service, and Velasco Bonilla has created 18 chances across 587 minutes, the busiest creative number on either team sheet. Atlante FC will look to Jhojan Esmaider Julio Palacios up top, who has fired 17 shots and added 2 assists this season, while midfielders Martin Nicolas Sarrafiore and Eugenio Pizzuto Puga arrive with 2 goals apiece.
This looks built for a cagey night under the lights rather than an end-to-end shootout. Puebla have kept matters tight for much of the season, and Atlante’s own run β a win at Cruz Azul, a loss to Tigres UANL, and draws against Toluca, Club Leon and Atlas β has followed a similarly low-event pattern. Expect the home side to find the one moment of quality that decides it, with Mustre Torres or Baltazar Agraz the most likely source given their shot volumes so far this term.

Club Puebla vs Atlante FC Prediction
We’re backing Club Puebla to make home advantage count and edge this 1-0. Puebla’s 13 points from 7 games have been built on tight margins, and Atlante’s own form β W D L D D β points to another low-scoring, cagey affair. Mustre Torres, with three goals already this season, looks the most likely man to land the goal that separates two well-matched sides in front of a raucous Cuauhtemoc crowd.
