◆ CheckLive verdict
Clear favorite — Cruz Azul
Cruz Azul carry an 80% win rate in this fixture and arrive on a five-match unbeaten run, winning three of their last five at home. Puebla's two-match winning streak looks fragile against a side that has lost none of their last five meetings at Estadio Azteca.
