Match preview

The Máquina achieved their first victory of the Clausura midweek against Atlas to move on from their defeat to León. Nicolás Larcamón hopes that the strain of travelling to another state in the Mexican Republic to play their home matches will not affect the performance of his players, as it is a crucial semester for the club. They will be defending the Concacaf Champions Cup title. 

Puebla defeated Mazatlán last time out and will be keen to test their mettle here against a powerful Cruz Azul squad.
