Liga MX made its triumphant return on Friday. Now, Club America and Puebla look to kickstart their Clausura campaign on the right foot.
America -- despite being sent down to nine men in both legs -- were one goal from advancing past Pumas UNAM in the Apertura semifinals. Defeated and dejected, Las Aguilas didn't fare any better at the FIFA Club World Cup.
Matias Alustiza Almost Signed With America
A 2-1 loss to Guangzhou Evergrande prematurely dashed dreams in Mexico City.
For Puebla, staving off relegation remains the priority in 2016.
Los Camoteros remain ahead of Chivas Guadalajara, Morelia and Dorados in the relegation table, but a string of losses will easily bring them back into the fold. They'll look to avoid that with a victory on Saturday.
