Puebla Faces Chivas in Critical Apertura 2025 Matchup

Puebla, Mexico — In a crucial match for both teams, Puebla will host Chivas on Friday as part of the Apertura 2025 tournament. The match at Estadio Cuauhtémoc is set to kick off at 9:00 PM local time. Both teams are in desperate need of points to improve their standings.

Currently at the bottom of the table, Puebla’s situation is dire. Under coach Hernán Cristante, the team has struggled throughout the season, recording only one win, two draws, and seven losses, totaling five points. They recently drew against Pachuca, which added to their woes of failing to secure a victory since their lone win against Santos Laguna.

With the weight of expectations on their shoulders, Puebla’s players, including Alejandro Organista and Esteban Lozano, must step up. They are under pressure to deliver a performance that can turn their season around, especially in front of their home fans.

Chivas, managed by Gabriel Milito, comes into the match looking to build on their recent 3-1 victory over Necaxa. Although they sit in 11th place with 11 points, they still have hopes of pushing into the Play-In positions. Star player Armando González and midfielder Luis Romo will be key to their strategy as Chivas aims to secure points on the road.

The upcoming match is seen as critical for both teams — for Puebla to avoid relegation risks and for Chivas to maintain their playoff ambitions. Fans are eagerly awaiting the showdown, which will be broadcasted on Canal 7 and Fox in Mexico, and TUDN in the United States.

As the date approaches, Chivas fans are looking forward to supporting their team, hoping for another victory that would cement their place in the playoff conversation.
