Team news & rosters
| Position | Puebla roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Silva, Rodriguez |
| Defenders | Corral, Reyes, Segovia, Gularte, Aguilar, Juarez, Vazquez, Maia, Medellin |
| Midfielders | Ferrareis, De Buen, Salas, Aboagye, Tabo, Alvarez, Parra, Araujo, Castillo, Celeya |
| Forwards | Aristeguieta, Martinez, Robles, Escoto |
With just one point from their first three top-flight games this term, Nicolas Larcamon's men have found the going tough, particularly after last term's semi-final finish in the Clausura.
Captain Fernando Aristeguieta is still looking for his first goal of the new campaign, with Christian Tabo the only member of their side to score so far - and breaking their barren streak in front of the net will be crucial to turning their form around.
Predicted Puebla starting XI: Silva; Corral, Gularte, Reyes, Segovia, Araujo; Tabo, Salas, Vazquez, Alvarez; Aristeguieta.
| Position | Tigres roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Guzman, Ortega, Delgado |
| Defenders | Ayata, Reyes, Sanchez, Venegas, Cruz, Meza, Salcedo, Rodriguez |
| Midfielders | Acosta, Intriago, Carioca, Vigon, Sierra, Fernandez, Pizarro, Aquino, Fulgencio, Duenas, Garcia, Avalos, Ayala, J. Garza, Najera |
| Forwards | Lopez, Quinones, Gonzalez, Ogama, Trevino, Solís, Ramos, A. Garza, Gignac, Thauvin |
It's one win, one loss and one draw for Miguel Herrera's side so far, as they look to force themselves into the Apertura conversation at this early part of the season.
Florian Thauvin picked up a straight red card upon his return from Olympics duty against Santos Laguna, while Andre-Pierre Gignac sat out the midweek Leagues Cup defeat to Seattle Sounders, with both expected to be absent for this domestic clash.
Predicted Tigres starting XI: Guzman; Rodriguez, Salcedo, Reyes, Venegas; Carioca, Ayala, Vigon; Aquino, Gonzalez, Lopez.
