Puebla host Club Am\u00e9rica on Friday February 20 at Estadio Cuauht\u00e9moc, with kick-off set for 10:06 PM ET. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both sides need a shove up the Liga MX<\/a> Clausura table<\/a>, but they arrive with very different problems to solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puebla have spent the opening stretch struggling to score goals, while Am\u00e9rica have been leaking them. That mix usually produces one thing: a match where a single moment of quality decides it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the best angles lean into Am\u00e9rica\u2019s edge in firepower, and the likelihood Puebla struggle to land punches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Club Am\u00e9rica to win<\/strong><\/td>\n-175 @ Bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nAm\u00e9rica don\u2019t need to be perfect here \u2014 they just need to be more clinical than a Puebla side that\u2019s struggled to put points on the board. Puebla have only five points after six matches, and Am\u00e9rica already nicked the season meeting (Apertura 2025) by winning 2-1. If the visitors get the first goal, they\u2019ve got the edge to see it out.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 2.5 goals<\/strong><\/td>\n-143 @ Bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThis has the feel of a tight, nervy night where nobody wants to blink first. Puebla have drawn 0-0 in back-to-back matches. If Puebla start cagey again, the game drifts into the type of scrap where chances come at a premium.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams To Score \u2013 No<\/strong><\/td>\n-143 @ Bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nPuebla\u2019s route to points has been about hanging on, not trading blows. They\u2019re averaging 0.67 goals per game in this Clausura stretch, and Am\u00e9rica\u2019s keeper Luis Malagon has already banked four clean sheets in six appearances. One goal could be enough for the visitors \u2014 and Puebla look the side most likely to blank.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Draw<\/strong><\/td>\n+270 @ Bet365<\/a><\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nNot convinced on Club Am\u00e9rica? This is the punt for anyone expecting a slow-burner rather than a statement win. Am\u00e9rica have been stuck in neutral with two draws in six matches, and Puebla have leaned on low-scoring stalemates recently. If the first half is flat, a 0-0 or 1-1 becomes very live.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
