Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a match between Puebla and America. The first-division clash scheduled for 6 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Cuauhtemoc in Puebla and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on UniMas.
What They're Saying
Puebla manager Aclara Marini (via Esto): "We are doing well. We developed our ideas in the friendlies. We obtained much rhythm. We are very well prepared to play this game."
America manager Ignacio Ambriz (via Terra Deportes): "While I have not won anything in my career, it is not by chance that I am here because my work has pushed me forward. Criticism strengthens me. My career doesn't have great results because I haven't had a team like America has. All I ask for is the benefit of the doubt. I promise the fans that we will fight hard for this team in every tournament."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Oribe Peralta away on international duty, Michael Arroyo will need to fill in amicably for Ambriz. In 11 appearances last season, the 28-year-old finished with three goals.
Puebla's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Guerrero; Rojas, Herrera, Araujo, Gutierrez; Bermudez, Torres, Toledo, Santos; Alustiza, Rey
America's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Gonzalez; Buron, Goltz, Aguilar, Mares; Samudio, Martinez, Guemez, Sambueza; Arroyo, Quintero
