More markets for the Liga MX game, scheduled for August 17 at 11:00 PM ET.
CF Pachuca hosts Club Puebla at Estadio Hidalgo in an early Apertura 2026 Liga MX fixture, with Pachuca operating under new head coach Benjamin Mora following Enner Valencia’s departure and the return of academy product Rodolfo Pizarro. After three matches, both sides sit mid-table—Pachuca with three points from one win and two losses, Puebla with four points from one win, one draw, and one loss—while Pachuca enters on the back of a 0-1 defeat at León. Home form, a strong historical head-to-head record that includes a 2-1 victory in March, and the presence of forward Salomón Rondón provide the main edges reflected in trader pricing. The only confirmed absence is Pachuca defender Andrés Micolta; Puebla reports a clean injury sheet. Early-season positioning and schedule context keep the matchup competitive despite Pachuca’s typical home edge.
