The new Liga MX campaign gets underway on Friday night as Club Puebla host Atlas FC at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc, with both sides eager to start the season on the front foot.
Puebla endured a miserable end to the 2024-25 season, going scoreless in their final six outings and limping to a 17th-place finish. Manager Pablo Guede has plenty of fixing to do, particularly in the final third. However, there’s cautious optimism that new arrivals Edgar Guerra and Owen Gonzalez could inject some much-needed attacking flair. That duo helped Puebla finally break their scoring drought in a recent friendly against Club América, even if they fell 2-1.
With that warm-up under their belts, Puebla should be sharper than Atlas, who haven’t played a competitive match since April. Still, Gonzalo Pineda’s side wrapped up last season with a bit of momentum, avoiding defeat in their final two games to secure a 14th-place finish.
