Club America host Club Puebla at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes on Saturday, August 29 (9:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM CT / 6:00 PM PT).
Club America go into this one with no fresh fitness concerns on the injury front, and the same central figures who have carried their attack all season are lined up to feature again. Henry Martin leads the line on 3 goals, 5 shots on target and 12 chances created from just 409 minutes, with Raphael Veiga (16 chances created, 17 shots, 2 assists) and Isaias Violante (1 goal, 15 shots) expected to keep supplying him. Club Puebla likewise have no reported absences, and they will lean on Eduardo Mustre’s 3 goals in just 286 minutes and Kevin Velasco’s team-high 435 minutes and 13 shots to give the visitors an outlet.
This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring affair despite the attacking talent on the field. Club America have not lost all season, sitting on 13 points from 5 games and a +8 goal difference built on control rather than chaos, while Club Puebla’s own +2 mark suggests goals will be harder to find away from home. Expect America’s control in possession and Puebla’s defensive discipline in patches to cancel out much of the game before the hosts’ extra quality tells late on.

Club America vs Club Puebla Prediction
Club America’s 13 points and +8 goal difference from 5 games have been built on control, not chaos, and that pattern should hold at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes. Club Puebla have shown they can compete, with 10 points and a +2 goal difference of their own, but their away form has not carried the same conviction as America’s work on home turf. This looks like a tight game that America edge through control and a bit of quality up top: 2-0 to the hosts, with Henry Martin on the scoresheet.
