This Wednesday, October 18, 2017 (7:00 PM Pacific) Puebla will host Monterrey at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc for a game in the 10th round of matches in the Liga MX Apertura 2017. The game is set to be the biggest mismatch in this round of play as Monterrey has proven to be the best team in the league while Puebla has proven to be one of the worst.
Puebla is currently in 17th place with nine points but is in a transitional phase with experienced manager Enrique Meza now at the helm. “Ojitos” nearly had a memorable start to his tenure as the Puebla manager almost getting a win against Queretaro in Puebla’s last game. Los Gallos Blancos found an equalizer in the dying seconds of the game and the match ended 2-2 as Meza began his reign with a point at home.
Los Camoteros have a very interesting team with plenty of experienced players and players who can be very dangerous going forward like Christian Marrugo, Felix Micolta, Francisco Acuna and Lucas Cavallini. The defense is definitely the weak point of the team as it has allowed 17 goals this season, good for fifth-worst in the league. Monterrey seems like an impossible task but as long as Meza can close spaces with his team and maintain a scoreless result that would prove to be a huge achievement for La Franja.
Monterrey has proven to be the best team in this Liga MX Apertura 2017, currently in first with 27 points and a game in hand against Santos Laguna. Los Rayados are coming off an impressive 2-0 win against Pachuca but did tie 2-2 against a fairly weak Queretaro team before that.
Antonio Mohamed counts with arguably the best offense in the Liga MX and some of the most impressive players include Rogelio Funes Mori and Aviles Hurtado, who have a combined 13 goals so far. This game is set to be a mismatch with Monterrey heading into it as the clear favorite but it should still prove to be an entertaining match at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc.
