The Mexican Liga MX returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Puebla and Club America square off at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc on Friday. Andre Jardine’s Club America head into the weekend as one of just two sides yet to suffer defeat in the league this season and will be looking to extend this fine run.
Puebla finally got up and running in the new Liga MX Clausura campaign as they secured a 2-0 victory over Santos Laguna last Sunday.
Before that, Pablo Guede’s side failed to win their opening four matches, losing twice and claiming two draws while scoring three goals and conceding four in that time.
Puebla have picked up five points from the first 15 available to sit 12th in the league standings, level on points with 13th-placed Guadalajara.
On the other hand, Club America turned in another solid team display last weekend when they thrashed Juarez 4-0 at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.
Jardine’s men have now won all but one of their five league matches this season, with a 1-1 draw against Club Tijuana on January 17 being the exception.
With 13 points from the openinig five games, Club America are currently second in the Liga MX table, only behind Club Leon, who boast a 100% record.
