Our betting prediction for this encounter suggests a home win for Puebla FC, with odds standing at 2.38 with Paripesa. Additionally, we anticipate that both teams will find the net, with odds for this outcome at 1.58 from Melbet. This combination of predictions draws from the current form and head-to-head statistics of both teams. Puebla FC has had a challenging start to the season, registering only one victory in their first seven matches, alongside two draws and four defeats. With a total of 8 goals scored and 10 conceded, their goal difference reflects a struggle both in attack and defense.

Managed by Pablo Guede, Puebla FC is known for a tactical approach that emphasizes possession and attacking play. However, the team's inability to convert opportunities into goals has been a significant factor in their current predicament. The lack of victories at home, with a record of three losses in as many matches, indicates a pressing need for improvement as they prepare to host Club Tijuana. Club Tijuana, on the other hand, has experienced a similarly disappointing campaign thus far, finding themselves in 16th place with just 4 points. Their record includes one win, one draw, and five defeats, with a goal tally of 9 scored and 17 conceded.

The match will be a crucial one for both teams, with the home advantage potentially playing a significant role in the outcome. The last five encounters between these teams have seen a balanced outcome, with Puebla winning two, Tijuana winning two, and one match ending in a draw. The odds for the match currently stand at 2.38 for Puebla FC to win at Paripesa, while a draw is offered at 3.55 with Melbet. The odds for a Club Tijuana victory are at 2.80, also provided by Paripesa. Given the home advantage that Puebla FC will enjoy, along with their historical performance against Tijuana, our betting tip leans towards a home win. Furthermore, the odds for both teams to score stand at 1.58 with Melbet, which appears to be a sensible bet given the attacking capabilities both teams have shown, albeit inconsistently.

In terms of team news, Puebla FC has no fresh injury concerns ahead of their clash against Tijuana. Raul Castillo will be the key player to watch out for, as the Mexican has already bagged three assists so far this season. Tijuana, on the other hand, has reported no fresh injury concerns ahead of the game. Raul Zuniga's four goals in seven games make him the go-to person for goals against Puebla. The match will be played at the Cuauhtémoc Stadium, and fans can expect an engaging encounter between two teams desperate for points. The stakes are high, and both teams will be looking to secure a vital victory to improve their standings in the league.
