- Puebla is unbeaten in their last six games but also without a win in the last nine.
- Queretaro has conceded in the last four games played against Puebla
- Both teams have scored less than 2.5 goals in seven of their last eight meetings.
With less than seven games left, the season is getting hotter, and any team that can’t keep up would miss out on the playoffs.
The battle for one of the top 12 spots rages on, and we would love to see how it plays out. The teams are geared up, and we expect them to keep a solid performance throughout the season.
Whatever matchup we have from now on won’t be easy, as the parties involved would be after one thing; winning.
Outside Top 12 Positions
One of the games we’re looking at as they play this mid-week is the one between Puebla and Queretaro. It is a battle between teams in and outside the top 12 positions in the league.
The objective for both managers would be to ensure that their teams get three points before the end of the match. So, we expect an exciting end-to-end game, even though both teams haven’t won too many games.
Follow us as we deep-dive into both teams and give our honest opinion as we check the Queretaro vs. Puebla odds and make our predictions.
Queretaro vs Puebla Odds
Queretaro | Draw | Puebla |
---|---|---|
+145 | +250 | +163 |
From the Queretaro vs. Puebla odds, Queretaro are the favorites to win this game. They are given the smaller odds, but there is little to justify why because they haven’t been the better side among both sides this season.
The only explanation would be because both teams are closely related, and they’re playing in front of their home fans.
Queretaro Winning Chance
As a result, we can justify their +145 odds, compared to Puebla’s +163 odds, a team that has won one more game than Queretaro.
However, since the odds are close, using anything to separate the team is not close to impossible. Queretaro’s winning chance is around 41% because of their Liga MX odds. However, they’ve won 40% of their matches at these odds.
Puebla Winning Chance
On the other hand, Puebla has a winning chance of 38%, while they’ve won 44% of the games they had these odds.
So, we can see that both sides have the chance of winning this game, and only 90 minutes can tell how it would go. A draw is also scored at +250 odds.

Queretaro
Queretaro is sitting on the last spot on the table this season. They’ve only won one game in 12 matches. They’ve been one of the poorest teams based on their stats.
It is not something we expected from a team that gave its all last season. So, from their Liga MX stats, it is surprising to see they’ve only gathered seven points from the possible 36.
Not a Single Win for the First 9 Games
For the first nine games, Queretaro didn’t register a single win. They had to settle for draws and losses.
In the first nine games, the team had five losses and four draws, it wasn’t a good look, and as a result, they are struggling outside the top 12 zones. Their last two games haven’t also been good enough.
They lost to Club America and Cruz Azul in tight matches after securing their first win of the season.
They could have won against Cruz Azul, but despite playing against ten men from the 56th minute and equalizing in the 77th, they still managed to lose the game. They conceded the winner in the 83rd minute.
Queretaro’s Motivation Loss
It seems like the team isn’t motivated to play, and they’ve given up on qualifying for the playoffs, even though they are five points out of the top 12 with 15 points left for them to win.
If they want to chase a top 12 finish, they would have to do better in this tie and try to get as many three points as possible.
Puebla
Puebla is sitting in one of the spots they would like to finish their season. The team has had a not-so-bad season since the start.
They’ve played 11 games and gathered 14 points, with two wins, eight draws, and one loss. They barely lose games this season, and if they can maintain that form, they will be part of the teams in the playoffs.
Puebla Last Six Matches
They haven’t lost a single game in the last six matches, but they are also without a win in the last six. All their games in that period have ended in a draw.
It started with a goalless draw against Atletico de San Luis before they played:
- 1-1 against ten men Toluca
- 3-3 against Club Tijuana
- 2-2 against Club Necaxa
- 1-1 against Atlas
- 2-2 against Juarez FC
Getting only six points from six games isn’t good because the team has missed some good points to push up the ladder.
They might even be satisfied with their current points because they are in the top 12. However, any losses in their remaining six games would see them miss out on the playoffs.
Expectations for Larcamon
We expect Nicolas Larcamon to check out the problem with the team to see how they can do better in the coming games.
Puebla needs to win a few of their remaining matches to seal their top 12 spots. So, we would love to see how they respond in the tie against Queretaro on Thursday.
Queretaro vs. Puebla Betting Pick and Prediction
If you know how to bet soccer, you will understand that this is a tricky game to predict. The odds and every other thing show that they are inseparable, but there would be a winner because a draw doesn’t help either side.
With Queretaro at home, they can rely on their home ground advantage throughout the game.
Also, the Queretaro vs. Puebla odds show that Queretaro is the favorite to win the game. In that case, we should be looking to bet on the home.
Who to Bet On?
However, Puebla is on the better side and has won more games. They seem to want it more than Queretaro, so we would be going with them to win the game. So, our Liga MX predictions for this game are Puebla to win by a slim margin: 2-1
Liga MX Pick: Puebla +163
