Liga MX Showdown: Puebla Faces Off Against Tigres This Friday

Puebla, Mexico — A key matchup in the Liga MX tournament arrives this Friday, April 4, as Puebla takes on Tigres UANL in the Clausura 2025 season. The game will kick off at 9:05 PM Central Time at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc, where both teams are eager to secure crucial points.

Puebla, currently in 17th place with only eight points, faces a critical moment in the season, as their struggle to avoid relegation deepens. Following a series of disappointing results, including a recent 2-0 loss to Juárez, the team has no choice but to go for a win against Tigres.

“This is a vital match for us. We need to give our fans something to cheer for and start turning this season around,” said Pablo Guede, head coach of Puebla.

Tigres, on the other hand, boasts a rich history within Liga MX and is looking to bounce back from a recent 3-0 defeat against Club América. After losing some ground in the standings, they sit in 4th place with 25 points and are keen on maintaining their position as they aim for a playoff berth.

“We must refocus and get these three points to regain our confidence,” said Tigres captain Guido Pizarro. The team has suffered four losses this season and cannot afford to lose to Puebla, a team they have historically dominated at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc, winning their last three encounters.

The game will be broadcast in the U.S. on TUDN, Univision, and Fox Deportes, all offering free seven-day trials for new subscribers. The match’s significance cannot be overstated, as both teams vie for survival and success in the crowded Liga MX landscape.

The action-packed weekend continues with additional matches, including Querétaro against León and Atlético San Luis facing Mazatlán, creating an exciting atmosphere for football fans.

As the match approaches, analysts note that Tigres will be fielding a few players less due to adherence to league rules regarding player minutes, which might affect their gameplay against a desperate Puebla team.

“We are family, we are Tigres, and we will fight until the end,” stated the official Tigres account on social media, stirring enthusiasm among fans.
