Well, well, look at this lineup we've got. The Tigres UANL, tearing up the pitch like a band of marauding Vikings, versus Puebla, who lately seem to be playing with the vigor and energy of an exceptionally sluggish snail.
If you look at recent matches, the Tigres have the upper hand going into this contest, with a respectable 6-3-1-season record. Puebla, on the other hand, is struggling with a dismal 3-2-6 record. If numbers could break hearts, Puebla fans would be sobbing into their jerseys by now.
Delving into the archives, we notice that history too, favors our striped friends, the Tigres. Their past bouts have seen them tango with Puebla and come out on top, more often than not - like a cat playing with a very unfortunate mouse.
Will Puebla's recent stumbles serve as a wake-up call, giving them the kick in the pants they need to pull off an upset? Considering their last few games, they’ve seemed more interested in playing second fiddle than leading the orchestra. Given recent form, I’d bank on the Tigres, roaring and tear-assing past Puebla, rather than Puebla suddenly channeling their inner superhero to save the day.
