Puebla Host Pumas in Match With Liguilla Implications

The Friday night fixture in Puebla is a must-win for both clubs because a loss would sharply reduce their chances of qualifying for the postseason.

Overview

  • The match is scheduled for Friday, October 30, with kickoff at 21:00 Central Mexico time at Estadio Cuauhtémoc.
  • Azteca 7 will carry the free-to-air broadcast for Mexico, ESPN2 will air the game on pay TV and reports list streaming on Disney+ and TV Azteca platforms.
  • Puebla sit 14th with 16 points and Pumas are 12th with 17 points, so both teams need a win to keep realistic hopes of reaching the Liguilla.
  • Puebla come in on a five-game winless run after a 4-3 loss to Atlas, while Pumas drew 1-1 with Tigres in their most recent match.
  • Pumas hold a recent head-to-head edge—unbeaten in the last five Liga MX meetings—and face a demanding remainder of the schedule that includes matches against América and Monterrey.
