Preview: América v Puebla – Staying near the top of the table | OneFootball

Club América will be facing Puebla in the match of day 14 of the Apertura 2025.

This is the last double matchday of the tournament, during which the qualifiers for the playoffs and repechage will start to be determined, leading up to the final phase that will begin in November.

The Eagles after securing three consecutive victories, left many doubts in the last match against Cruz Azul, being one of the worst performances seen from the team in the tournament. The last time we saw such a poor performance was against Chivas, and interestingly, both matches occurred after a FIFA Date.

But now they face the worst team in the tournament, Puebla, a club that has only accumulated eight points, placing them in the last position and as visitors, they have lost five matches with one draw.

It is an ideal opponent for the team to regain victory and take key steps to finish in the upper part of the general table; this is especially important after they fell four points behind Toluca, a club they will face in the last matchday of the tournament.
