CF Pachuca vs Puebla Prediction & Picks - Liga MX

Prediction published on 2/24/25, 8:00 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 2/24/25 at 9:46 PM in Liga MX Picks

After a good start to the Clausura tournament in which Pachuca won its first three games, it has been difficult for them to score at least two goals per game in the next five, a trend that has cost them three losses in the last four games. To help with goals and also to assist veteran Venezuelan striker Rondón, Pachuca acquired promising youngster John Kennedy from Fluminense, who has seen more than 45 minutes in all of Pachuca's games this season.

John Kennedy has already scored four goals this season and before a somewhat lackluster game against Chivas in Zapopan, he had a really good one against Pumas where with two goals he was the player of the match for Pachuca's last victory this tournament against Pumas UNAM.

In the betting, for Wednesday's league game, Pachuca, who is seventh in the Clausura, will start as a clear favorite in the 1X2 to win it against Puebla. However, the last time they were chosen by an implied probability of 50% or more at home they ended up losing 1-2 against León.

Puebla showed their best version in the last match they had against Tijuana, winning 2-0 with goals from Gomez and Marin, with a particularly good game from Angulo.
