Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Chivas Guadalajara and Puebla. The first-division clash scheduled for 6 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Omnilife in Guadalajara and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Univision.
Puebla manager Jorge Luis Sanchez Sola had this to offer following the club's latest defeat (via Cambio de Michoacan): "Today, we lost a lot, and I'm going to make sure before the next ball roles that I make a very large self-criticism because if it was devastating what happened to us [in the cup tournament]. [I will] see what we can salvage from this. I do not see how this result can serve us well."
Sola and company will look for a better result in Guadalajara this evening.
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Chivas Guadalajara's Aldo de Nigris is yet to open his league account and has only created five chances in nine appearances. The 31-year-old must produce more atop the club's formation if Guadalajara is to return to the Liga MX playoffs.
Chivas Guadalajara's Projected Lineup (3-5-2): Rodriguez; Vidrio, Araujo, Salcido; Martinez, Arce, Rodriguez, Toledo, Castro; Bravo, De Nigris
Puebla's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Mendoza; Orozco, Esqueda, Romero, Rojas; Noriega, Espinoza, Victor, Villalobos; Blanco, Cosme
