The Tigres UANL vs Puebla Copa MX round of 16 match will be broadcast live online as Los Felinos host Los Camoteros at the Estadio Universitario this Wednesday, September 26, 2018, at 5:00 PM Pacific.
Tigres UANL has not been having an ideal season, currently in seventh place in the Liga MX 2018 Apertura. Los Universitarios finished first in Group 9 of the Copa MX ahead of Tapachula and San Luis and will now be looking to stay steady in the knockout stage.
Ricardo Ferretti has not expressed great urgency in this competition, but does tend to trickle in some key players into his lineups for this tournament. Some of the more talented players that we may see in this game for Tigres include Enner Valencia, Eduardo Vargas and Juninho.
Puebla is currently just two points out of a playoff spot in the Liga MX and finished second in Group 1 of the Copa MX just behind Monterrey. La Franja is coming off a hard-fought 3-2 loss against Club America in league play, but has been looking solid in recent games.
Enrique Meza’s side has a lot of talent with players like Bryan Angulo, Francisco Acuna, Nicolas Vikonis and Lucas Cavallini and also implements an attractive style of play. Uruguayan striker Cristian Palacios has been one of the key players in the Copa MX for Puebla with two goals scored.
Enrique Meza does like to play more conservative on the road and will likely let Tigres control possession to try and strike on counter attacks as his best bet to win the game.
Tigres UANL vs Puebla Prediction
The game should be very enticing and could potentially carry an upset with Ricardo Ferretti’s clear disinterest in the tournament. FutnSoccer predicts a 1-1 draw in regulation time and Puebla defeating the home team on penalties in what could be a nail-biter.
