Puebla vs Tigres prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 5, 2025
One of the matches of the 14th round of the Mexican championship will take place on Saturday at the "Cuauhtémoc" stadium, where the local club Puebla will host Tigres. I propose a bet on the outcome of this clash with good chances of success.
Match Preview
FC Puebla is experiencing one of the worst periods in recent seasons. The team is anchored at the bottom of the standings, sitting in 17th place, having collected only 8 points in 13 matches. A dismal streak of seven losses in eight matches highlights serious issues in defense and attack. In the last five encounters, Puebla conceded 13 goals while scoring only twice.
On home turf, the "sweet-potatoers" are also not delighting their fans: in the last five matches, the team secured only one victory, overcoming the underdog Tijuana. If the situation does not change, the team risks spending the rest of the season fighting for survival, and the club's management may consider drastic changes this summer.
Tigres is battling for top positions in the Mexican championship, currently in fourth place, just one point away from the top three. This season, the team is showing confident and balanced play, winning 8 out of 13 matches and earning 25 points.
The last two matches have been mixed results — a loss to leader América (0:3) and a goalless draw in the away CONCACAF Champions League fixture against LA Galaxy. Nevertheless, there are weak spots: away matches are more challenging for Tigres. In the last five games on foreign soil, the club secured only one victory, with two losses and two draws.
Probable Lineups
- Puebla: Gonzalez, Ferraris, Mendez, Fedorso, Zavala, Moano, Diaz, Martiarena, Dutra, Castillo, Marin
- Tigres: Guzman, Joaquim, Sanchez, Angulo, Aquino, Carioca, Brunetta, Lainez, Gorriaran, Antuna, Ibanez
