This clash of titans will be between two of the best teams in the tournament, the Cementeros led by Juán Reynoso, and the "Larcaboys", led by Nicolás Larcamón, one of the best coaches in Liga MX 2022, and who is rumored to coach the Mexican national soccer team. Puebla has been in incredible form, and the team has been very competitive against some of the best Mexican sides in the league so far. The Club Puebla was never seen as a team to compete for the trophy and instead had been battling to stay in the first division of American football for many years. Puebla fans are excited about this new team performing well, with Guillermo 'Memo' Martinez showing great form. The Mexican striker is 6'3 and is a threat in the box as he is a target man for headers and has shown pace during counterattacks. Cruz Azul will need to watch for him during the match against Puebla.

Club Puebla has been a champion in the past, but the titles were won a long time ago. The first Championship title for the club came in the 1982-83 season. They also won it in the 1989-90 season, which was the last league title they have won in its history. Puebla is at least aspires to reach the playoffs this season in order to get closer to that dream of playing another final and winning another league title after more than 30 years.

Cruz Azul is coming off a last-minute 2-2 draw with Tigres, who had almost beaten La Máquina but were without Luis Abram and José Ignacio Rivero, who scored for Azul to salvage the draw.

On the other hand, Puebla also came from a last-minute 1-1 draw with Bravos de Juárez, which cost them the loss of the leadership of Liga MX 2022, but that has not dampened their spirit to continue playing offensive and relentless soccer. This head to head game will be key for the rest of the Mexican league. The live scores during the match will determine the positions in the league. The Puebla vs Cruz Azul lineups determine that the game will be very entertaining.

Cruz Azul also wants to get the three points in order to get closer to the playoffs and win another Liga MX trophy. Cruz Azul is one of the biggest Mexican clubs in the country, and they want to get closer to the 'Decima' after winning their league title last year in Clausura 2021. It was the first time they won the league title after more than two years. If Cruz Azul wins another trophy, they will be tied with Toluca FC in having ten league titles in the history of the Mexican league. Above Toluca is Chivas, with 12 league titles, and Club America is the most successful Mexican club, with 13 league titles in total. Cruz Azul fans believe that another league title will definitely put them closer to the title of being the best Mexican club.
