Club Queretaro vs Puebla Prediction

Club Queretaro hosts Puebla on 9 November 2026 at 03:00 in Liga MX Apertura round 16. Both teams sit in the lower half of the table and need results. Queretaro occupies 12th place with 20 points from 14 matches. Puebla is 14th with 16 points from 15 matches. The hosts hold the edge at home and carry a strong head-to-head record: four wins in the last five meetings between these sides.

Form and H2H

Queretaro has won four of their last ten matches but lost five, averaging 1.30 goals for and 1.71 against. They suffered four straight defeats before this fixture, including a 1–3 loss to Juarez and a 0–5 thrashing by Santos Laguna. Puebla's form is worse: one win in ten with six losses, averaging 0.80 goals for and 1.61 against. They have not won in eight league matches, most recently losing 1–2 to Pumas and 3–4 to Atlas. In direct meetings, Queretaro won four of the last five encounters. Puebla's away record is particularly weak, and they will face an opponent desperate to arrest a slide at home.

Best Bet

Back Queretaro to win. The hosts have superior head-to-head form and play at home, where they have won four of ten recent matches. Puebla are in freefall—eight matches without a win—and their defence is fragile. Queretaro's attack, though hampered by injury to Santiago Homenchez, should find space against a leaky Puebla backline. At Melbet, 1xBet, and 22Bet the price stands at 1.78. At 1Win it reaches 1.81.

Odds to Watch

Both defences are porous. Queretaro conceded 13 goals in five recent matches; Puebla shipped 11 in the same span. Over 2.5 goals is a natural play given the attacking resources on both sides and the defensive vulnerabilities. Three of the last five head-to-head meetings finished with three or more goals. The draw at 3.78 (Melbet) or 3.68 (1xBet and 22Bet) offers value if you expect a cagey affair, though Queretaro's home advantage and Puebla's extended winless run make the home win the sharper pick.
