Let's look at this absorbing game in the Liga MX. Monterrey is in the 1st spot after playing four fixtures. They host Puebla who are placed 4th after four fixtures.
- Monterrey have the most scored goals (10) in Liga MX
Puebla could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Liga MX game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Cruz Azul, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Puebla.
