Two clubs chasing the Clausura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Monarcas Morelia and Puebla. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Morelos in Morelia and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN Deportes.
What They're Saying
Morelia forward Mauro Cejas (via Esto): "It's going to be a difficult game, compact. They need to stay in the first division. We have to be smart, go for the victory many want. We have to have a good performance to achieve that."
Puebla defender Facundo Erpen (via Esto): "They [Morelia] are a very complicated team. They aren't in form, but they have important players that can do damage at any moment. We have to be alert."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Puebla's Matias Alustiza scored a timely goal in last week's 2-0 victory over Monterrey. Since joining from Pachuca, the 30-year-old has three goals in four starts.
Morelia's Projected Lineup (5-3-2): Rodriguez; Guzman, Huiqui, Palacios, Calvo, Arreola; Silva, Zarate, Morales; Cejas, Depetris
Puebla's Projected Lineup (4-4-1-1): Cota; Rojas, Erpen, Romero, Orozco; Pajoy, Acosta, Noriega, Santos; Alustiza; Rey
