Tigres vs. Puebla Apostas Probabilidades e Informações

Por que apostar no Tigres?

Tigres have had an impressive start to the season, first defeating Juárez 1–0 and then edging out reigning champions Toluca 4–3 on the road. They currently sit third in the standings, three points behind Pachuca, but the Monterrey side has one game in hand.

Their strong form has continued in the Leagues Cup, where they’ve won both of their matches so far, beating Houston Dynamo 4–1 and San Diego FC 2–1. A standout performer in those games has been new signing Ángel Correa.

The 30-year-old Argentine striker scored a brace in each of those two matches, with some truly spectacular goals, making him the tournament’s top scorer. He’s already proving to be one of the best signings in Mexican football this year.

Tigres have also welcomed back their captain, André-Pierre Gignac. The French striker is still working his way back to full fitness after nearly five months out with injury, but has already appeared in three matches this semester, playing just over 30 minutes in the most recent. At 39, he’s not as lethal as he once was, but his presence still commands respect.

On the downside, fellow striker Nicolás Ibáñez is injured. The Argentine, who scored twice against Toluca, took a knock in Tigres’ first Leagues Cup match and is now doubtful.

Por que apostar em Puebla?

Puebla is looking to shake off the stigma of being one of the worst teams in Mexican football in recent years. However, that’s a tough label to erase, and so far in the Apertura Tournament, they have two losses and one win.

They opened with a 3–2 defeat to Atlas, followed by a 2–1 loss to Mazatlán, but finally picked up a victory against Santos, winning 1–0 thanks to a goal from Ricardo Marín in the 79th minute. That win marked the club’s first since February 21.

In the Leagues Cup, they started strong with a 3–0 thrashing of New York City FC, giving fans hope for a possible resurgence. However, they then fell 3–1 to Columbus Crew and will close out the group stage against Montréal, one of the weaker teams in MLS.

Among the standout newcomers are forwards Esteban Lozano and Owen González, along with defender Luis Gabriel Rey.
