Two clubs in the bottom half of the Liga MX table will do battle today in a league match between Club Tijuana and Puebla. The first-division clash scheduled for 11:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Caliente in Tijuana and can be live streamed here free.
Club Tijuana enter today's match fresh off a 4-3 aggregate victory over MLS outfit the Los Angeles Galaxy. Los Xolos managed to overturn the 1-0 deficit they suffered in the first leg of the CONCACAF quarterfinal and are now en route to the semis. Their league form, however, has not been as stellar this season. Club Tijuana enters today's match 12th in the league table with a minus-four goal differential. This is hardly the championship pedigree the club has come to know in recent years.
Puebla haven't fared any better this season.
The club is three spots beneath Club Tijuana in 15th with a minus-five goal differential. Both clubs are looking to rebound after suffering one-goal defeats last week. Returning to form is of the utmost importance if either side hopes to reach the playoffs at season's end.
Will either find the momentous result necessary in Tijuana tonight? Tell us @SportsWN
