The Puebla vs Pumas UNAM Liga MX match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Camoteros host Los Capitalinos at the Estadio Cuauhtemoc this Friday, March 15, at 8:00 PM Pacific.
Puebla is coming off a hard-fought 1-0 loss to Club America at the Estadio Azteca, but it was Los Camoteros’ first this season with “El Chelis” as manager. It was also La Franja’s first loss in four league games as Puebla had wins against Atlas and Queretaro and draws to Monterrey and Pachuca in this run. Puebla is currently in 11th place with 13 points and a win would propel Jose Luis Sanchez Sola’s side to a playoff position.
La Franja will have some key absences as Francisco Acuna and Christian Tabo are injured while Alan Acosta will serve a suspension. Centre-back Daniel Arreola will be back after a suspension and Puebla has a very solid side with players like Lucas Cavallini, Alejandro Chumacero and Brayan Angulo. “El Chelis” used a five-man backline against Club America, but will likely revert to a 4-4-2 lineup at home.
Pumas UNAM has really been struggling this semester, currently in 14th place with just 10 points, on a three-game winless streak. Bruno Marioni had a hot start as the new manager for the Mexico City club, but has really fallen off, coming off a 2-2 draw against Monarcas Morelia.
Carlos Gonzalez is arguably Pumas’ best player and he has been in form recently with three goals scored in Los Felinos’ last three games. Los Universitarios have a strong attack led by Gonzalez and Juan Manuel Iturbe, but the backline can be highly inconsistent as it is very young and inexperienced.
