Club América is in a challenging position following a defeat against Guadalajara in the Liga MX’s Superclásico last Saturday. Under the guidance of coach André Jardine, the team now turns its attention to their upcoming match against Puebla at Estadio Cuauhtémoc, where they aim to bounce back.
Historically, América has fared well in their visits to Puebla, having suffered only one loss in their last ten matchups at this venue, accompanied by two draws and seven victories. This favorable track record provides hope that a win could bolster their chances of re-entering the direct playoff contention.
The last victory for Puebla over América came during the Clausura 2018 tournament, where they secured a 3-1 win with goals from Alejandro Chumacero, Omar Fernández, and Pablo González, while Renato Ibarra scored a consolation goal for the azulcremas. Currently, Club América holds the 10th position in the overall standings with eight points, placing them outside the qualification spots, while Puebla lingers in 13th with five points.
The upcoming match represents a critical opportunity for América to regain momentum and improve their standings in the league. With the players prepared and determined, fans are hopeful for an inspiring performance that could herald a turnaround in the season.
