Puebla vs Chivas: Storylines and Head-To-Head

Puebla reached important stages last season, surprising Monterrey in the play-in game that sent them to the last-8 round. The team would clash with León, who had a hard time beating them. This year they expect to have better performance and this game will be the best way to start strong.

Chivas, curiously, also faced León in the 2020 Liga MX playoffs. Guadalajara reached the semi-finals of the tournament and fought until the end to beat León. After eliminating archrivals América, they were ready to play in the final, but their plans were ruined. They know they have something good in their hands and this tournament could be a good one for them.

These two sides have clashed 35 times in Liga MX. Chivas have won 12 times, Puebla 8 and they have tied 15 games.
