Puebla vs Cruz Azul Prediction and Betting Tips | October 31st 2025

Puebla will invite Cruz Azul to Estadio Cuauhtémoc in their penultimate Liga MX Apertura match of the campaign on Friday. The hosts are at the bottom of the standings, winning just two of their 15 league games, and need a win to avoid finishing at the bottom of the table at the end of the season.

La Máquina are third in the standings and trail leaders Toluca by just one point.

La Franja have suffered just one loss in their last three games and were held to a 4-4 draw by Juarez last week. Luis Rey bagged a brace and scored a stoppage-time equalizer.

The capital club are unbeaten in their four league games this month, recording two wins. They met Monterrey in their previous outing and registered a 2-0 home win. Jesús Orozco broke the deadlock in the 44th minute and Ángel Sepúlveda doubled their lead in stoppage time.

La Franja have recorded just two wins in the 15 league games this season, with both of them registered at home. Notably, they have conceded at least two goals in six of their seven home games this season.

La Máquina are unbeaten in their four league games this month, conceding one goal apiece in three. They are winless in their last three away games, conceding four goals, and will look to improve upon that record.
