Puebla: cautious football with a measured approach
Puebla's trip to Tijuana 17 October 2026 ended in a goalless draw in Liga MX. The hosts had 23 shots to Puebla's 7, but Puebla kept a clean sheet.
Puebla have shown moderate scoring output this season, averaging 1 goal scored and 1.08 conceded per match. In their last five games they have won two, lost two and drawn one. Over the ten matches before that, they won three, lost four and drew three, scoring 1.1 goals per game and conceding an average of 1.3.

Why can’t Monterrey find consistency?
Monterrey's previous Liga MX match 19 October 2026 saw them beat Pachuca 2-1 at home. They led 2-0 at half-time, and despite the shot count being almost level at 10-11, their expected goals figure was twice as high as Pachuca's: 2.06 against 1.04.
Monterrey sit above their opponents thanks to a higher average of goals scored per match (1.73), but their defensive reliability is questionable - they concede 1.45 goals per game for the season, and over their last ten matches that figure has risen to 1.6 goals conceded, while their scoring average over the same period stands at 1.1. Their last five matches have brought two wins, two draws and one defeat; across the last ten they have four wins, four defeats and two draws, which points to a lack of consistency despite their current position in the Liga MX playoff places. Away from home they have struggled: Monterrey have gone without a win in ten of their last eleven away matches in the competition.

Total Goals Prediction
Total Goals - Under 3.5 has landed in 10 of the last 11 head-to-head meetings between these two sides. Both clubs also show fairly modest scoring numbers: Puebla average 1.2 goals per home match, while Monterrey average just 1.2 per away match. Puebla's average goals conceded at home stands at 1.2, and Monterrey's on the road at 1.8. This supports a low-scoring outcome, and there are no significant conflicting trends. The pick is Total Goals - Under 3.5 at odds of 1.38*.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
In 6 of their last 7 head-to-head meetings, Puebla and Monterrey have both scored, pointing to a tendency for goals at both ends. Puebla average 1.2 goals per home match, Monterrey average 1.2 goals per away match, and their defensive numbers are comparable. However, Puebla have a run of matches going under 2.5 goals, and there is a risk of a low-scoring game, which slightly reduces confidence in the bet. That said, Both Teams to Score - Yes is priced at 1.67*.
Safer Bet
In 8 of Monterrey's last 9 matches, Total Goals - Under 4.5 has come in. The average scoring rate of both teams, which does not exceed 2 goals per game, adds further support. This makes Total Goals - Under 4.5 the most reliable option at odds of 1.14*.

*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Neither side is in particularly good form: Puebla have been playing a run of low-scoring matches without much attacking threat, while Monterrey frequently make defensive errors away from home and rarely win on the road even against less organised Liga MX opponents. The home side's statistics back up the under 2.5 goals trend - seven consecutive results of that kind reflect the cautious nature of their matches under the pressure of their league situation. We see the most logical scenario as Puebla continuing their low-scoring run, given their pragmatic approach when every result carries a high price for both sides. Our bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
