All right, let's talk turkey here. We've got Puebla on one end and Atlas on the other. Now, the track record between them isn't exactly cause for celebration if you're a Puebla fan. Sure, they had the sun in their eyes when they managed a victory back in 2023, but if you've seen Puebla play recently, you'd know this is a team that struggles to find the net—much like a visually impaired ostrich.
Now if we switch our gaze to Atlas, we notice they’ve had the upper hand in recent matchups against Puebla. Their game has been slightly more balanced, like a circus tightrope walker but without the applause. Their last season records are nothing to write home about, but still, Atlas managed double the number of wins than Puebla.
But things get juicier, folks. Let’s jump into that DeLorean and go back in time to the recent outcomes. Our friends over at Atlas have shown they still have a little gas in the tank, pulling off a substantially better performance compared to Puebla. You could argue that Atlas has forgotten how to lose but that would be an extravagant assumption built on sand, not concrete.
Now, don't get me wrong, a die-hard Puebla fan might still put their money where their mouth is and bet on their team, but for the rest of us living in reality – from the lens of the past and accounting for present factors, it seems Atlas is the safe bet. However, I've learned during my long tenure in this field, besides looking both ways before crossing the road, that football isn’t exactly an exact science and sometimes the underdogs bite back.
