Puebla welcomes Club América to Estadio Cuauhtémoc on Friday night for a Liga MX Clausura matchup.
Puebla comes in on a four-game winless run and is still searching for consistency after blowing a two-goal lead in a 3-2 home loss to Pumas last weekend.
The hosts have been defensively shaky in recent weeks, conceding in three of their last four league games. Still, Estadio Cuauhtémoc has been a tough place for Club América to visit, as the away side hasn’t won there since 2018.
Meanwhile, Club América arrives in poor form after a 1-0 defeat to Chivas on Sunday. André Jardine’s side has gone winless and scoreless in all three away Liga MX games this season, which makes this a tricky road trip despite the team’s overall quality.
Las Águilas lead the all-time head-to-head series with 24 wins to Puebla’s six in 45 meetings. They’ll look to Alejandro Zendejas to jumpstart an attack that has struggled badly on the road this season.
