Puebla face a key visit to bottom-placed Tigres UANL this Saturday with a need to pick up points to consolidate their eighth-place standing in Liga MX. La Franja arrive after a 1-1 draw against Atlante FC, a result that mirrors their inconsistent start to the Apertura 2026, where they have gathered 14 points from nine games.
Puebla's last victory at the Estadio Universitario came on March 5, when they won 3-1. That triumph contrasts with the host's current plight, sitting 16th with just one win in their last five outings. For this fixture, manager Eduardo Arce could stick with the core of the side that drew last week, featuring Rodrigo Gutiérrez in goal and scorer Mathías Tomás, who netted against Atlante, leading the line.
The team has shown an attacking edge with 11 goals scored, but has also conceded 11. Striker E. Mustre, the squad's top scorer with three goals, will be key to trying to breach a Tigres backline that has shipped nine goals in the same span. The full squad and their detailed performance data are available on our stats page.
Sitting five points behind leaders Toluca, every match is vital to keep playoff hopes alive. The clash with Tigres represents a clear opportunity to take three points before a week's break. The official lineup and match coverage will be available live on our platform.
