Match Preview
Puebla will host Tijuana at Estadio Cuauhtémoc in a Liga MX clash on Saturday, 18 October. Both teams come into this match with contrasting recent form. Puebla has struggled, recording just one win in their last five matches, while Tijuana has shown resilience, managing two wins and three draws in the same period. Historically, Puebla has dominated this fixture, winning seven of the last ten encounters, which could provide a psychological edge as they look to turn their fortunes around.
One key angle to consider is Puebla's home advantage. Despite their recent struggles, they have a solid record at home, where they often perform better. Tijuana's away form has been inconsistent, which could play a crucial role in this matchup. With both teams having a tendency to score—evidenced by the high number of matches featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net in their previous encounters—this match could be an open contest. Expect a competitive game, but Puebla's historical success at home may give them the edge they need to secure a vital three points.
