Cruz Azul Seeks Second Straight Win Hosting Puebla

The Clausura portion of the Liga MX season is rapidly unfolding, with Monterrey standing as the sole team with a perfect three wins from three matches. In contrast, a determined Cruz Azul squad is set to host Puebla on Saturday night, aiming to clinch their second consecutive victory. Significant changes have occurred within the Cruz Azul lineup, and further adjustments may be imminent with reports of Mateusz Bogusz potentially returning to Major League Soccer.

Despite these shifts, Cruz Azul boasts a strong roster, bolstered by the recent additions of Jose Paradela, Agustin Palavecino, and Jeremy Marquez to their midfield, signaling a strategic effort to create a more balanced team. The club's objective is to improve upon their previous season, where they accumulated the most points but faltered in the playoffs, a recurring challenge that manager Nicolas Larcamon must address.

Puebla, an improving side, is not expected to yield easily, even in an away fixture. While Cruz Azul has not lost to Puebla since 2023 and is anticipated to win, they must maintain focus to avoid an upset, as Puebla is poised to make the match a difficult contest.
