Juárez has earned the respect of Liga MX; the team nicknamed "Potros" (Colts) reached the Liga MX play-in tournament in both the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 seasons, thanks to a diligent defense and a strong home record at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez. Now they begin a new Apertura tournament while the World Cup concludes, and their first opponent will be Puebla.
The well-known Portuguese manager Pedro Caixinha continues to lead Juárez in a long-term project. The last Clausura tournament was compressed into a shorter schedule due to the World Cup, and Liga MX definitively eliminated the play-in tournament, which had been Juárez's route to the final stages of the competition. They finished 12th in the previous tournament, but Colombian Óscar Estupiñán had an excellent season, scoring 6 goals and providing 2 assists.
Meanwhile, Puebla still seems mired in a perpetual sporting crisis and has only avoided relegation from Liga MX due to the absence of relegation. Bookmakers are once again predicting that Puebla will come away empty-handed, as they are the clear underdogs against Juárez.

Our FC Juarez vs Puebla Prediction
Puebla also played away in their last league opener; in January, they kicked off the Clausura tournament against Atlas and lost 1-0, marking the first of 10 defeats in 17 matches for "La Franja" (The Stripe).
It would be a genuine surprise if Puebla avoided finishing in the bottom four of Liga MX, especially given their lackluster and uninspiring style of play. Last season they received five red cards; this lack of discipline could cost them dearly in the tournament that begins for them on Friday.
Our prediction for Juarez vs Puebla is: Juarez to win.
