Puebla opened the Liga MX Apertura last week with a big win, taking down Mazatlán 4-2. The team got goals from Israel Reyes, Fernando Aristeguieta, Martín Barragán and Amaury Gabriel Escoto Ruíz in the victory.
That win came despite them holding the ball for just 39% of that match and having a pass accuracy that was 10% worse than Mazatlán.
La Franja finished last season’s Clausura in fifth place and lost in the quarterfinals to Club América.
Predicted Puebla starting XI: Araújo, Silva, De Buen, Gularte, Mancuello, Reyes, Moreno, Cortizo, Gustavo, Aristeguieta; Silva

Santos Laguna opened this Apertura with a close victory over Monterrery. Tied at three each heading into stoppage time, a foul set Brian Lozano up for the game-winning penalty kick.
In addition to Lozano’s goal, Fernando Gorriarán, Félix Torres and Harold Preciado each scored goals as well. Santos Laguna led 19-17 in total shots.
In last season’s Clausura, the Guerreros finished in 14th place. That was an especially disappointing result after the team had finished fifth in the Apertura.
Predicted Santos Laguna starting XI: Torres, Campos, Dória, Carrillo, Prieto, Gorriarán, Orrantía, Suárez, Aguirre, Preciado; Lopez
