Prediction Puebla vs Santos Laguna season 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for Liga MX on July 26, 2025

As the Liga MX gears up for an exhilarating clash, Puebla will face off against Santos Laguna at the formidable Estadio Cuauhtémoc. With both teams showcasing their strengths and weaknesses in the early season, this match could be a turning point for either side as we dive deeper into the Apertura stage.

Puebla: Struggling for Form

The home side Puebla has, unfortunately, hit the ground running with a tough start to the season, losing both matches they have played so far. Their last outing against Mazatlán ended in a 2-1 defeat, accentuating their struggles both offensively and defensively. Having managed to score only three goals in two matches, they’re currently sitting at the bottom of the league with zero points.

Statistically, Puebla has a total of 29 shots, but they have only managed to convert these into two goals. With their attacking department under scrutiny and a leaky defense that has conceded five goals, continuity and improvement is key if they hope to clinch their first victory of the season. In their last encounter, they aimed at bringing some flair back into their game, but it fell short against a determined Mazatlán side.

Santos Laguna: Momentum on Their Side

On the other hand, Santos Laguna comes into this fixture looking to build on their mixed form. They’ve won one and lost one of their two games played so far this season, showing signs of resilience. Their most recent match against Toluca showcased their potential to score, netting two goals but ultimately succumbing to a 4-2 defeat. With five goals scored, they prove to be a formidable attacking threat, especially as they look to use their away advantage at Estadio Cuauhtémoc.

Importantly, Santos Laguna knows how to convert their chances—evidenced by a total of 14 shots in their last match, with a substantial number of those coming from inside the box. Their ability to challenge defenses, coupled with a solid defensive display so far this season, positions them as favorites in this matchup.

Betting Tips: Look for Goals

With both teams struggling to maintain clean sheets and showing a penchant for both scoring and conceding, the goal market appears promising. Given that Puebla has seen both teams score in 50% of their games, while Santos Laguna has a staggering 100% in this regard, betting on "Both Teams to Score" could turn out to be a wise choice. Additionally, considering the odds, betting on a Santos Laguna win at 3.40 is also worth considering, particularly with current form and statistical backing on their side.

As fans gear up for this electrifying encounter, all eyes will be on how both teams adapt and respond to the growing pressure of the Liga MX stage. Each moment could be pivotal, setting the tone for the remainder of the season!
