New York City FC team news

New York City FC come into the match on the back of a thrilling 4-3 away win against Dallas, showing strong offensive form and resilience. This continues a productive run: NYCFC are unbeaten in their last three MLS games and have tallied 19 goals in their past 10 outings.

Squad-wise, head coach Pascal Jansen will be without three key players due to leg injuries: Keaton Parks, Malachi Jones, and Thiago Martins. However, youth is stepping up - Jonathan Shore scored his first MLS goal in the Dallas victory, and Alonso Martinez led the charge with a hat-trick.

Puebla team news

Puebla arrive fresh off a needed 1-0 win over Santos Laguna, their first victory of the new Liga MX Apertura, breaking an 11-match domestic winless streak. That said, the wider context is challenging: in their last 12 competitive games, Puebla managed just 1 win, 1 draw, and 10 losses.

The away side has rotated members recently, introducing four new faces - Jesus Ivan Rodriguez, Nicolas Diaz, Ariel Gamarra, and Franco Moyano - in their starting XI from matchday two to three. Puebla are at or near full strength with no new injury worries, but they remain heavily reliant on recent additions and youth up front.
