Tigres UANL and Puebla meet at Estadio Universitario on Sunday morning for Jornada 10 of the Liga MX Apertura, with the two sides separated by seven points in the table and occupying very different positions within it.
Tigres sit 16th in an 18-team table, having taken just seven points from nine matches. Their record reads one win, four draws and four losses, with nine goals scored and thirteen conceded. The club are in the bottom third of the table as the competition reaches its tenth round.
Puebla arrive in eighth place with eleven goals scored and eleven conceded across nine matches. Their four wins, two draws and three losses have produced fourteen points, placing them in mid-table. They have taken seven points from their last five matches, a run that includes wins over Necaxa and Santos Laguna alongside a draw with Atlante FC.
Tigres' recent form tells a similar story to their overall campaign. Six points from their last five matches have come through four draws and a single victory — a 2-0 home win over Atlante FC. The most recent outing was a 2-0 defeat to FC Juarez, preceded by a goalless draw with Monterrey.
The head-to-head record between these two sides is notably split. In March 2026 Puebla won 3-1, yet prior to that Tigres recorded a 7-0 victory in August 2025. Two meetings, two contrasting margins, with no clear pattern to draw upon.
With seven points separating the sides and Tigres in the bottom third of the table while Puebla occupy mid-table in eighth, Sunday's match carries considerable weight for the home side. Puebla will look to maintain their mid-table standing as the Apertura moves into double figures.
