Puebla vs Toluca: Over 2.5 goals
Puebla's 2.0 expected goals at home meet Toluca's 1.3 on the road, setting up a match where the model sees a 64% chance of more than 2.5 goals.
Both sides arrive with contrasting recent runs – Puebla bounced back from a loss with two wins, while Toluca has collected four points from their last four games. The clash pits Puebla's home attack against Toluca's stingy away defence, a classic recipe for an open game.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Puebla at 53.6%, the draw at 21.6%, and Toluca at 24.7% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.6% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Puebla
Puebla's last five league results are L‑D‑W‑W‑L, highlighted by a 3‑2 away win over CF Pachuca and a 3‑2 home victory against Santos Laguna. Those two three‑goal games demonstrate Puebla's ability to both score and concede, underscoring the likelihood of a high‑scoring encounter.
Toluca
Toluca's recent run of W‑D‑W‑W includes a 4‑0 home thrashing of FC Juarez and a 2‑1 away win versus Club Queretaro. The 4‑0 result shows Toluca can dominate offensively, while the low‑scoring 0‑0 draw proves they can also keep games tight, supporting a match with multiple goals overall.
