From the Estadio Olímpico Universitario, Cruz Azul, coached by Martin Anselmi, will aim to secure their first victory of the tournament. Meanwhile, Puebla, led by Pablo Guede, will try to surprise after a challenging start to the Clausura 2025. Discover how both teams are performing, their strengths, and what’s at stake in this matchup.

How is Cruz Azul performing?

Cruz Azul has had a difficult start to the tournament, earning just one point in their first two matches. In their most recent game, Cruz Azul lost 1-0 to FC Juarez. Despite dominating possession for stretches, they lacked offensive depth and precision in the final third. A defensive error late in the first half decided the match, highlighting an area for improvement under Martin Anselmi's leadership.

In the Apertura 2024, Cruz Azul experienced mixed results, including a standout 3-0 victory against Tijuana and a disappointing 0-0 draw with America in the quarterfinals. The team showed promising moments offensively but must refine their approach to reverse their fortunes in the Clausura 2025.

How is Puebla performing?

Puebla enters this match needing to improve after earning just one point from their first two matches. In their last game, they lost 2-1 to Atletico San Luis. Although the team started strong, scoring the opening goal through a well-executed counterattack, defensive lapses allowed their opponent to come back in the second half, exposing weaknesses Pablo Guede must address.

In the Apertura 2024, Puebla struggled, suffering multiple consecutive losses, such as a 5-0 defeat to Toluca and a 2-1 loss to Tijuana. Despite this, they achieved highlights like a 1-0 victory over Chivas, demonstrating their potential in critical moments. Now, in the Clausura 2025, they aim to build a more cohesive performance to improve their league position.
