Two clubs chasing the Clausura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Puebla and Queretaro. The first-division clash scheduled for 6 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Cuauhtemoc in Puebla and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN Deportes.
What They're Saying
Puebla defender Facundo Erpen (via Esto): "We've played good games, but we haven't gotten the results. Winning is what we wanted. We have to maintain our form at home, getting points. Queretaro's coming in a bit banged up."
Queretaro manager Victor Manuel Vucetich (via Excelsior): "[Queretaro] is a team that has ambitions.They have quality and desires to grow."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Queretaro's Orbelin Pineda scored a timely goal in last week's 2-1 loss to Monterrey. In seven league appearances, the 18-year-old has two goals and 10 shots. He'll look for more of the same in Puebla on Saturday.
Puebla's Projected Lineup (3-4-2-1): Rodriguez; Erpen, Romero, Orozco; Pajoy, Espinoza, Noriega, Santos; Cosme, Alustiza; Rey
Queretaro's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Volpi; Bornstein, Osorio, Martinez, Buron; William, Pineda, Osuna, Sepulveda; Rubio, Villa
